Notwithstanding the foregoing, no member of the Vornado Group shall be required by this Section 2.8 to maintain in effect any Shared Contract, and no member of the Newco Group shall have any approval or other rights with respect to any amendment, termination or other modification of any Shared Contract; provided, however, that for any

Shared Contract that the Newco Group in consultation with JBG Properties identifies as material to the operation of the DC Business, the Parties shall cause the members of their respective Groups to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to work together (and, if necessary and desirable, to work with the Third Party to any Shared Contract) in an effort to divide, partially assign, modify and/or replicate (in whole or in part) the respective rights and obligations under and in respect of any such identified Shared Contract such that (i) a member of the Newco Group is the beneficiary of the rights and is responsible for the obligations related to that portion of such Shared Contract relating to the DC Business (the “Newco Portion”), which rights shall be a Newco Asset and which obligations shall be a Newco Liability and (ii) a member of the Vornado Group is the beneficiary of the rights and is responsible for the obligations related to such Shared Contract relating to the Vornado Business (the “Vornado Portion”), which rights shall be a Vornado Asset and which obligations shall be a Vornado Liability.

The obligations set forth in this Section 2.8(a) shall terminate on the date that is twelve (12) months after the Effective Time.

(b) Each of Vornado and Newco shall, and shall cause the members of its Group to, (i) treat for all Tax purposes the portion of each Shared Contract inuring to its respective businesses as Assets owned by, and/or Liabilities of, as applicable, such Party, or the members of its Group, as applicable, not later than the Effective Time, and (ii) neither report nor take any Tax position (on a Tax Return or otherwise) inconsistent with such treatment (unless required by applicable Law).

(i) the reorganization shall have been completed substantially in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization (other than those steps that are expressly contemplated to occur at or after the Distribution);

(ii) each of the Transfer Documents shall have been duly executed and delivered by the applicable parties thereto; and

(b) The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of Vornado and shall not give rise to or create any duty on the part of Vornado or the Vornado Board to waive or not waive any such condition or in any way limit Vornado’s right to terminate this Agreement as set forth in Article IX or alter the consequences of any such termination from those specified in Article IX, provided that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the parties hereto under the Master Agreement. Any determination made by the Vornado Board prior to the Distribution concerning the satisfaction or waiver of any or all of the conditions set forth in Section 3.3(a) shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto. If Vornado waives any material condition, it shall promptly issue a press release disclosing such fact and file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC describing such waiver.

3.4 The Vornado Distribution.

(a) Subject to Section 3.3, on or prior to the Distribution Date, Newco will deliver to the Agent, for the benefit of the holders of record of Vornado Shares as of the Record Date, book-entry transfer authorizations for such number of the outstanding Newco Shares as is necessary to effect the Vornado Distribution, and shall cause the transfer agent for the Vornado Shares to instruct the Agent to distribute at the Effective Time the appropriate number of Newco Shares to each such Record Holder or designated transferee or transferees of such Record Holder by way of direct registration in book-entry form. Newco will not issue paper share certificates in respect of the Newco Shares. The Vornado Distribution shall be effective at the Effective Time.

(b) Subject to Section 3.3, each Record Holder will be entitled to receive in the Vornado Distribution one Newco Share for every Vornado Share (or, as determined by Vornado in its sole discretion, one Newco Share for every two Vornado Shares), held in each case by such Record Holder on the Record Date, rounded down to the nearest whole number.

(c) No fractional shares will be distributed or credited to book-entry accounts in connection with the Vornado Distribution, and any such fractional share interests to which a Record Holder would otherwise be entitled shall not entitle such Record Holder to vote or to any other rights as a shareholder of Newco. In lieu of any such fractional shares, each Record Holder who, but for the provisions of this Section 3.4(c), would be entitled to receive a fractional share interest of a Newco Share pursuant to the Vornado Distribution, as applicable, shall be paid cash, without any interest thereon, as hereinafter provided. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Vornado shall direct the Agent to determine the number of whole and fractional Newco Shares allocable to each Record Holder, to aggregate all such fractional shares into whole shares, and to sell the whole shares obtained thereby in the open market at the then-prevailing prices on behalf of each Record Holder who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional share interests (with the Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, determining when, how and through which broker-dealer and at what price to make such sales), and to cause to be distributed to each

such Record Holder, in lieu of any fractional share, such Record Holder’s or owner’s ratable share of the total proceeds of such sale, after deducting any Taxes required to be withheld and applicable transfer Taxes, and after deducting the costs and expenses of such sale and distribution, including brokers fees and commissions. None of Vornado, Vornado OP, Newco or the Agent will be required to guarantee any minimum sale price for the fractional Newco Shares sold in accordance with this Section 3.4(c). None of Vornado, Vornado OP or Newco will be required to pay any interest on the proceeds from the sale of fractional shares. Neither the Agent nor the broker-dealers through which the aggregated fractional shares are sold shall be Affiliates of Vornado or Newco. Solely for purposes of computing fractional share interests pursuant to this Section 3.4(c) and Section 3.4(d), the beneficial owner of Vornado Shares or Vornado OP Units, as the case may be, held of record in the name of a nominee in any nominee account shall be treated as the Record Holder with respect to such shares or units.

(d) Any Newco Shares or cash in lieu of fractional shares with respect to Newco Shares that remain unclaimed by any Record Holder one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Distribution Date shall be delivered to Newco, and Newco shall hold such Newco Shares for the account of such Record Holder, and the parties hereto agree that all obligations to provide such Newco Shares and cash, if any, in lieu of fractional share interests shall be obligations of Newco, subject in each case to applicable escheat or other abandoned property Laws, and Vornado shall have no Liability with respect thereto.

(e) Until the Newco Shares are duly transferred in accordance with this Section 3.4 and applicable Law, from and after the Effective Time, Newco will regard the Persons entitled to receive such Newco Shares as record holders of Newco Shares in accordance with the terms of the Distribution without requiring any action on the part of such Persons. Newco agrees that, subject to any transfers of such shares, from and after the Effective Time (i) each such holder will be entitled to receive all dividends payable on, and exercise voting rights and all other rights and privileges with respect to, the Newco Shares then held by such holder, and (ii) each such holder will be entitled, without any action on the part of such holder, to receive evidence of ownership of the Newco Shares then held by such holder.

3.5 The Vornado OP Distribution of OP Units.

Newco OP will not issue paper share certificates in respect of the Newco OP Units. The Vornado OP Distribution of OP Units shall be effective at the Effective Time (but immediately prior to the Vornado Distribution).

(b) Subject to Section 3.3, each Record Holder will be entitled to receive in the Vornado OP Distribution of OP Units one Newco OP Unit for every two Vornado OP Units,

held in each case by such Record Holder on the Record Date, rounded down to the nearest whole number.

(c) No fractional common limited partnership interest will be distributed or credited to book-entry accounts in connection with the Vornado OP Distribution of OP Units, and any such fractional common limited partnership interests to which a Record Holder would otherwise be entitled shall not entitle such Record Holder to vote or to any other rights as a limited partner of Newco OP. In lieu of any such fractional common limited partnership interest, each Record Holder who, but for the provisions of this Section 3.5(c), would be entitled to receive a fractional Newco OP Interest pursuant to the Vornado OP Distribution of OP Units, as applicable, shall be paid cash, without any interest thereon, as hereinafter provided. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Vornado OP shall direct the Agent to cause to be distributed to each such Record Holder, in lieu of each fractional common limited partnership interest to which such Record Holder would otherwise be entitled, an amount equal to the amount of cash that would have been received by such Record Holder pursuant to Section 3.4(c) if such Record Holder were entitled to an equal fractional share interest of a Newco Share, after deducting any Taxes required to be withheld and applicable transfer Taxes, and shall deposit with the Agent an amount in cash sufficient to provide for such payments to such Record Holders. Solely for purposes of computing fractional common limited partnership interests pursuant to this Section 3.5(c), the beneficial owner of Vornado OP Units held of record in the name of a nominee in any nominee account shall be treated as the Record Holder with respect to such shares or units.

(d) Any Newco OP Units or cash in lieu of fractional common limited partnership interests with respect to Newco OP Units that remain unclaimed by any Record Holder one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Distribution Date shall be delivered to Newco OP, and Newco OP shall hold such Newco OP Units for the account of such Record Holder, and the parties hereto agree that all obligations to provide such Newco OP Units and cash, if any, in lieu of fractional share interests shall be obligations of Newco OP, subject in each case to applicable escheat or other abandoned property Laws, and Vornado and Vornado OP shall have no Liability with respect thereto.

(e) Until the Newco OP Units are duly transferred in accordance with this Section 3.5 and applicable Law, from and after the Effective Time, Newco OP will regard the Persons entitled to receive such Newco OP Units as record holders of Newco OP Units in accordance with the terms of the Distribution without requiring any action on the part of such Persons (other than such action as may be required on the part of such persons pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement of Newco OP). Newco OP agrees that, subject to any transfers of such common limited partnership interests, from and after the Effective Time (i) each such holder will be entitled to receive all dividends payable on, and exercise voting rights and all other rights and privileges with respect to, the Newco OP Units then held by such holder, and (ii) each such holder will be entitled, without any action on the part of such holder (other than such action as may be required on the part of such persons pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement of Newco OP), to receive evidence of ownership of the Newco OP Units then held by such holder.

Newco OP, each other member of the Newco Group and each of their respective past, present and future directors, trustees, officers, employees or agents, in each case in their respective capacities as such, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Newco Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Liabilities of the Newco Indemnitees relating to, arising out of or resulting from, directly or indirectly, any of the following items (without duplication):

(a) any Vornado Liability;

(b) any failure of Vornado, any other member of the Vornado Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any Vornado Liabilities in accordance with their terms, whether prior to, on or after the Effective Time;

(c) any breach by Vornado or any other member of the Vornado Group of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements; and

(d) except to the extent it relates to a Newco Liability, any guarantee, indemnification or contribution obligation, surety bond or other credit support agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding for the benefit of any member of the Vornado Group by any member of the Newco Group that is required to be novated pursuant to Section 2.5 of this Agreement and that survives following the Distribution (other than as a result of a breach thereof by any member of the Newco Group after the Effective Time).

In order to induce Newco and Newco OP to enter into this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, Vornado hereby irrevocably guarantees the due and punctual performance and observance by Vornado OP of its obligations contained in this Section 4.3, subject, in each case, to all of the terms, provisions and conditions herein, and Newco, Newco OP and the other Newco Indemnitees shall not be required to seek recovery pursuant to any set-off of any amounts payable under this Agreement or otherwise prior to seeking recovery from Vornado; provided that Vornado shall in no event be liable for any percentage of indemnification obligations that exceeds its then current ownership percentage in Vornado OP.

4.4 Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts.

(a) The Parties intend that any Liability subject to indemnification, contribution or reimbursement pursuant to this Article IV or Article V will be net of Insurance Proceeds or other amounts actually recovered (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) from any Person by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in respect of any indemnifiable Liability. Accordingly, the amount which either Newco or Vornado (an “Indemnifying Party”) is required to pay to any Person entitled to indemnification or contribution hereunder (an “Indemnitee”) will be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or other amounts actually recovered (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) from any Person by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in respect of the related Liability. If an Indemnitee receives a payment (an “Indemnity Payment”) required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Liability and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or any other amounts in respect of the related Liability, then the Indemnitee will pay to the

Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds or such other amounts (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.

(b) The Parties agree that an insurer that would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of any provision contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, it being understood that no insurer or any other Third Party shall be entitled to a “windfall” (i.e., a benefit they would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions) by virtue of the indemnification and contribution provisions hereof. Each Party shall, and shall cause the members of its Group to, use commercially reasonable efforts (taking into account the probability of success on the merits and the cost of expending such efforts, including attorneys’ fees and expenses) to collect or recover any Insurance Proceeds that may be collectible or recoverable respecting the Liabilities for which indemnification or contribution may be available under this Article IV; provided that the Indemnitee’s ability or inability to collect or recover any such Insurance Proceeds shall not limit the Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnifying Party may not delay making any indemnification payment required under the terms of this Agreement, or otherwise satisfying any indemnification obligation, pending the outcome of any Action to collect or recover Insurance Proceeds, and an Indemnitee need not attempt to collect any Insurance Proceeds prior to making a claim for indemnification or contribution or receiving any Indemnity Payment otherwise owed to it under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

(c) Any indemnification payment under this Article IV shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 4.4 of the Tax Matters Agreement.

4.5 Procedures for Indemnification of Third-Party Claims.

(a) Notice of Claims. If, at or following the date of this Agreement, an Indemnitee shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a Person (including any Governmental Authority) who is not a member of the Vornado Group or the Newco Group of any claim or of the commencement by any such Person of any Action (collectively, a “Third-Party Claim”) with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnitee pursuant to Section 4.2 or 4.3, or any other Section of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, such Indemnitee shall give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof as promptly as is reasonably practicable, but in any event within twenty (20) days (or sooner if the nature of the Third-Party Claim so requires) after becoming aware of such Third-Party Claim. Any such notice shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, including the facts and circumstances giving rise to such claim for indemnification, and include copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of an Indemnitee to provide notice in accordance with this Section 4.5(a) shall not relieve an Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent to which the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by the Indemnitee’s failure to provide notice in accordance with this Section 4.5(a).

(b) Control of Defense. An Indemnifying Party may elect to defend (and seek to settle or compromise), at its own expense and with its own counsel, any Third-Party Claim, provided that, prior to the Indemnifying Party assuming and controlling defense of such Third-Party Claim, it shall first confirm to the Indemnitee in writing that, assuming the facts presented to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnitee being true, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Indemnitee for any damages to the extent resulting from, or arising out of, such Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party (i) becomes aware that the facts presented at the time the Indemnifying Party delivered such acknowledgement are not true and/or (ii) becomes aware of new or additional facts that provide a reasonable basis for asserting that the Indemnifying Party does not have an indemnification obligation in respect of such Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party may withdraw such acknowledgment. Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of a notice from an Indemnitee in accordance with Section 4.5(a) (or sooner, if the nature of the Third-Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall provide written notice to the Indemnitee indicating whether the Indemnifying Party shall assume responsibility for defending the Third-Party Claim. If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending any Third-Party Claim or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice from an Indemnitee as provided in Section 4.5(a), then the Indemnitee that is the subject of such Third-Party Claim shall be entitled to continue to conduct and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(c) Allocation of Defense Costs. If an Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, then such Indemnifying Party shall be solely liable for all fees and expenses incurred by it in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim and shall not be entitled to seek any indemnification or reimbursement from the Indemnitee for any such fees or expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party during the course of the defense of such Third-Party Claim by such Indemnifying Party, regardless of any subsequent decision by the Indemnifying Party to reject or otherwise abandon its assumption of such defense. If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending any Third-Party Claim or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election within thirty (30) days after receipt of a notice from an Indemnitee as provided in Section 4.5(a), and the Indemnitee conducts and controls the defense of such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party has an indemnification obligation with respect to such Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(d) Right to Monitor and Participate. An Indemnitee that does not conduct and control the defense of any Third-Party Claim, or an Indemnifying Party that has failed to elect to defend any Third-Party Claim as contemplated hereby, nevertheless shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel as necessary) of its own choosing to monitor and participate in (but not control) the defense of any Third-Party Claim for which it is a potential Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, and the provisions of Section 4.5(c) shall not apply to such fees and expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Sections 6.7 and 6.8, such Party shall cooperate with the Party entitled to conduct and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim in such defense and make available to the controlling Party, at the non-controlling Party’s expense, all witnesses, information and materials in such Party’s possession or under such Party’s control relating thereto as are reasonably

required by the controlling Party. In addition to the foregoing, if any Indemnitee shall in good faith determine that such Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party have actual or potential differing defenses or conflicts of interest between them that make joint representation inappropriate, then the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel as necessary) and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for all Indemnitees.

(e) No Settlement. Neither Party may settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim for which either Party (or a member of its Group) is seeking to be indemnified hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, unless such settlement or compromise is solely for monetary damages, does not involve any finding or determination of wrongdoing or violation of Law by the other Party (or any member of its Group that are parties thereto) and provides for a full, unconditional and irrevocable release of the other Party (and all members of its Group that are parties thereto) from all Liability in connection with the Third-Party Claim. The Parties hereby agree that if a Party presents the other Party with a written notice containing a proposal to settle or compromise a Third-Party Claim for which either Party or a member of its Group is seeking to be indemnified hereunder and the Party receiving such proposal does not respond in any manner to the Party presenting such proposal within thirty (30) days (or within any such shorter time period that may be required by applicable Law or court order) of receipt of such proposal, then the Party receiving such proposal shall be deemed to have consented to the terms of such proposal.

4.6 Additional Matters.

(a) Timing of Payments. Indemnification or contribution payments in respect of any Liabilities for which an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Article IV shall be paid reasonably promptly (but in any event within thirty (30) days of the final determination of the amount that the Indemnitee is entitled to as indemnification or contribution under this Article IV) by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnitee as such Liabilities are incurred upon demand by the Indemnitee, including reasonably satisfactory documentation setting forth the basis for the amount of such indemnification or contribution payment, including documentation with respect to calculations made and consideration of any Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of such Liabilities. The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Article IV shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnitee, and (ii) the knowledge by the Indemnitee of Liabilities for which it might be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(b) Notice of Direct Claims. Any claim for indemnification or contribution under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement that does not result from a Third-Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnitee to the applicable Indemnifying Party as promptly as is reasonably practicable, but in any event within twenty (20) days (or sooner if the nature of the claim so requires) after becoming aware of such claim; provided that the failure by an Indemnitee to so assert any such claim shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent (if any) that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby. Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty (30) days after the receipt of such

notice within which to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30)-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have refused to accept responsibility for such claim. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30)-day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnitee shall, subject to the provisions of Article VII, be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such Party as contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, as applicable, without prejudice to its continuing rights to pursue indemnification or contribution hereunder.

(c) Pursuit of Claims Against Third Parties. If (i) a Party or any member of its Group incurs any Liability arising out of this Agreement, the Master Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; (ii) an adequate legal or equitable remedy is not available for any reason against the other Party or any member of its Group to satisfy the Liability incurred by the incurring Party or any member of its Group; and (iii) a legal or equitable remedy may be available to the other Party or any member of its Group against a Third Party for such Liability, then the other Party or any member of its Group shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the incurring Party or member of its Group, at the incurring Party’s expense, to permit the incurring Party or member of its Group to obtain the benefits of such legal or equitable remedy against the Third Party.

(d) Subrogation. In the event of payment by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to any Indemnitee in connection with any Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnitee may have any right, defense or claim relating to such Third-Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third-Party Claim or against any other Person. Such Indemnitee shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim.

(e) Substitution. In the event of an Action in which the Indemnifying Party is not a named defendant, if either the Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party shall so request, the Parties shall endeavor to substitute the Indemnifying Party for the named defendant. If such substitution or addition cannot be achieved for any reason or is not requested, the named defendant shall allow the Indemnifying Party to manage the Action as set forth in Section 4.5 and this Section 4.6, and the Indemnifying Party shall fully indemnify the named defendant against all costs of defending the Action (including court costs, sanctions imposed by a court, attorneys’ fees, experts fees and all other external expenses), the costs of any judgment or settlement and the cost of any interest or penalties relating to any judgment or settlement.

4.7 Right of Contribution.

(a) Contribution. If any right of indemnification contained in Section 4.2 or Section 4.3 is held unenforceable or is unavailable for any reason, or is insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnitee in respect of any Liability for which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amounts paid or payable by the Indemnitees as a result of such Liability (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the

members of its Group, on the one hand, and the Indemnitees entitled to contribution, on the other hand, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

(b) Allocation of Relative Fault. Solely for purposes of determining relative fault pursuant to this Section 4.7: (i) any fault associated with the business conducted with the Delayed Newco Assets or Delayed Newco Liabilities (except for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a member of the Vornado Group) or with the ownership, operation or activities of the DC Business prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed to be the fault of Newco and the other members of the Newco Group, and no such fault shall be deemed to be the fault of Vornado or any other member of the Vornado Group; and (ii) any fault associated with the ownership, operation or activities of the Vornado Business prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed to be the fault of Vornado and the other members of the Vornado Group, and no such fault shall be deemed to be the fault of Newco or any other member of the Newco Group.

4.8 Covenant Not to Sue. Each Party hereby covenants and agrees that none of it, the members of such Party’s Group or any Person claiming through it shall bring suit or otherwise assert any claim against any Indemnitee, or assert a defense against any claim asserted by any Indemnitee, before any court, arbitrator, mediator or administrative agency anywhere in the world, alleging that: (a) the assumption of any Newco Liabilities by Newco or a member of the Newco Group on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Transfer Documents is void or unenforceable for any reason; (b) the retention of any Vornado Liabilities by Vornado or a member of the Vornado Group on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Transfer Documents is void or unenforceable for any reason; or (c) the provisions of this Article IV are void or unenforceable for any reason.

4.9 Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided in this Article IV shall be cumulative and shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnitee of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party.

4.10 Survival of Indemnities. The rights and obligations of each of Vornado and Newco and their respective Indemnitees under this Article IV shall survive (a) the sale or other transfer by either Party or any member of its Group of any Assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities; or (b) any merger, consolidation, business combination, sale of all or substantially all of its Assets, restructuring, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction involving either Party or any of the members of its Group.

4.11 Certain Tax Procedures.

(a) Indemnification Payments to Newco.

(i) With respect to any period in which Newco has made or will make an election to be taxed as a REIT, notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, any indemnification payments to be made to any member of the Newco Group pursuant to Section 4.3 or 4.4 or any indemnification payments to be made to any member of the Newco Group pursuant to any Ancillary Agreement (a “Newco Indemnity Payment”) for any calendar year shall not exceed the sum of

(A) the amount that is determined (x) will not be gross income of Newco or (y) will be Qualifying Income of Newco, in each case for purposes of the Specified REIT Requirements and for any period in which Newco has made any election to be taxed as a REIT, with such determination to be set forth in REIT Guidance,

plus

(B) such additional amount that is estimated can be paid to Newco in such taxable year without causing Newco to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code, determined (x) as if the payment of such amount did not constitute Qualifying Income and (y) by taking into account any other payments to Newco (and any other relevant member of the Newco Group) during such taxable year that do not constitute Qualifying Income, which determination shall be (xx) made by independent tax accountants to Newco, and (yy) submitted to and approved by Newco’s outside tax counsel.

Newco shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Vornado with a REIT Savings Notice at least fifteen (15) business days before the date on which such Newco Indemnity Payment is due, but any failure to deliver such REIT Savings Notice, whether or not timely, shall not be deemed a waiver of, or otherwise vitiate, this Section 4.11(a)(i).

(ii) Vornado shall place (or cause to be placed) the full amount of any Newco Indemnity Payments otherwise required to be made in a mutually agreed escrow account upon mutually acceptable terms, which shall provide that

(A) the amount in the escrow account shall be treated as the property of Vornado or the applicable member of the Vornado Group, unless it is released from such escrow account to any Indemnitee,

(B) all income earned upon the amount in the escrow account shall be treated as the property of Vornado or the applicable member of the Vornado Group and reported, as and to the extent required by applicable Law, by the escrow agent to the IRS, or any other taxing authority, on IRS Form 1099 or 1042S (or other appropriate form) as income earned by Vornado or the applicable member of the Vornado

Group whether or not said income has been distributed during such taxable year,

(C) the amount in the escrow account shall be invested only as determined by Vornado in its sole discretion, provided that such investments shall be limited to (i) AAA-rated money market funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, (ii) interest-bearing securities of, or guaranteed as to all principal and interest by, the United States Government with maturities of 90 days or less, or (iii) bank deposit accounts of commercial banks with Tier 1 capital exceeding $1 billion or with an average rating above investment grade by S&P (LT Local Issuer Credit Rating), Moody’s (Long Term Rating) and Fitch Ratings, Inc. (LT Issuer Default Rating) (each as reported by Bloomberg Finance L.P.), and

(D) any portion thereof shall not be released to any Newco Indemnitee unless and until Vornado receives any of the following: (x) a letter from Newco’s independent tax accountants indicating the amount that it is estimated can be paid at that time to the Newco Indemnitees without causing Newco to fail to meet the Specified REIT Requirements for the taxable year in which the payment would be made, which determination shall be made by such independent tax accountants or (y) an opinion of outside tax counsel selected by Newco, such opinion to be reasonably satisfactory to Newco, to the effect that, based upon a change in applicable Law after the date on which payment was first deferred hereunder, receipt of the additional amount of Newco Indemnity Payments otherwise required to be paid either would be excluded from gross income of Newco for purposes of the Specified REIT Requirements or would constitute Qualifying Income, in either of which events amounts shall be released from the escrow account to the applicable Newco Indemnitees in an amount equal to the lesser of the unpaid Newco Indemnity Payments due and owing (determined without regard to this Section 4.11(a)) or the maximum amount stated in the letter referred to in clause (D)(x) above.

Such cooperation shall include, for example, agreeing, at the request of Newco, to make payments hereunder to a taxable REIT subsidiary of Newco or an Affiliate or designee of Newco. Newco shall reimburse Vornado for all reasonable costs and expenses of such cooperation.

(b) Indemnification Payments to Vornado.

(i) With respect to any period in which Vornado has made or will make an election to be taxed as a REIT, notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, any indemnification payments to be made to any member of the Vornado Group pursuant to Section 4.2 or 4.4 or any indemnification payments to be made to any member of the Vornado Group pursuant to any Ancillary Agreement (a “Vornado Indemnity Payment”) for any calendar year shall not exceed the sum of

(A) the amount that is determined (x) will not be gross income of Vornado or (y) will be Qualifying Income of Vornado, in each case for purposes of the Specified REIT Requirements and for any period in which Vornado has made any election to be taxed as a REIT, with such determination to be set forth in REIT Guidance,

plus

(B) such additional amount that is estimated can be paid to Vornado in such taxable year without causing Vornado to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code, determined (x) as if the payment of such amount did not constitute Qualifying Income and (y) by taking into account any other payments to Vornado (and any other relevant member of the Vornado Group) during

Vornado shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Newco with a REIT Savings Notice at least fifteen (15) business days before the date on which such Vornado Indemnity Payment is due, but any failure to deliver such REIT Savings Notice, whether or not timely, shall not be deemed a waiver of, or otherwise vitiate, this Section 4.11(b)(i).

(C) the amount in the escrow account shall be invested only as determined by Newco in its sole discretion, provided that such investments shall be limited to (i) AAA-rated money market funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, (ii) interest-bearing securities of, or guaranteed as to all principal and interest by, the United States Government with maturities of 90 days or less, or (iii) bank deposit accounts of commercial banks with Tier 1 capital exceeding $1 billion or with an average rating above investment grade by S&P (LT Local Issuer Credit Rating), Moody’s (Long Term Rating) and Fitch Ratings, Inc.

ARTICLE V
CERTAIN OTHER MATTERS

5.1 Insurance Matters.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, with respect to any Losses, damages and Liability incurred by any member of the Newco Group prior to the Effective Time, Vornado will provide Newco with access to, and Newco may, upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Vornado, make claims under, Vornado’s Third Party insurance policies in place prior to the Effective Time and Vornado’s historical policies of insurance, but solely to the extent that such policies provided coverage for members of the Newco Group prior to the Effective Time; provided that such access to, and the right to make claims under, such insurance policies, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of such insurance policies, including any limits on coverage or scope, any deductibles and other fees and expenses, and shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(i) Newco shall report any claim to Vornado, as promptly as is reasonably practicable, and in any event in sufficient time so that such claim may be made and managed by Vornado pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement in accordance with Vornado’s claim reporting procedures in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (or in accordance with any modifications to such procedures after the Effective Time communicated by Vornado to Newco in writing);

(ii) Newco and the members of the Newco Group shall exclusively bear and be liable for (and neither Vornado nor any members of the Vornado Group shall have any obligation to repay or reimburse Newco or any member of the Newco Group for), and shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse Vornado and the members of the Vornado Group for, any deductibles, self-insured retention, fees and expenses to the extent resulting from any access to, or any claims made by Newco or any other members of the Newco Group or otherwise made in respect of Losses of the DC Business under, any insurance provided pursuant to this Section 5.1(a), including any Indemnity Payments, settlements, judgments, legal fees and allocated claims expenses and claim handling fees, whether such claims are made by members of the Newco Group, its employees or Third Parties; and

(iii) Newco shall exclusively bear and be liable for (and neither Vornado nor any members of the Vornado Group shall have any obligation to repay or reimburse Newco or any member of the Newco Group for) all uninsured, uncovered, unavailable or uncollectible amounts of all such claims made by Newco or any member of the Newco Group under the policies as provided for in this Section 5.1(a). In the event an insurance policy aggregate is exhausted, or believed likely to be exhausted, due to noticed claims, the Newco Group, on the one hand, and the Vornado Group, on the other hand, shall be responsible for their pro rata portion of the reinstatement premium, if any, based upon the Losses of such Group submitted to Vornado’s insurance carrier(s) (including any submissions prior to the Effective Time). To the extent that the Vornado Group or the Newco Group is allocated more than its pro rata portion of such premium due to the timing of Losses submitted to Vornado’s insurance carrier(s), the other Party

shall promptly pay the first Party an amount so that each Group has been properly allocated its pro rata portion of the reinstatement premium. Subject to the following sentence, Vornado may elect not to reinstate the policy aggregate. In the event that, at any time prior to the Effective Time, Vornado elects not to reinstate the policy aggregate, it shall provide prompt written notice to Newco, and Newco may direct Vornado in writing to, and Vornado shall, in such case, reinstate the policy aggregate; provided that Newco shall be responsible for all reinstatement premiums and other costs associated with such reinstatement.

(b) Except as provided in Section 5.1(a), from and after the Effective Time, neither Newco nor any member of the Newco Group shall have any rights to or under any of the insurance policies of Vornado or any other member of the Vornado Group. At the Effective Time, Newco shall, unless it has obtained the prior written consent of Vornado or Vornado OP, have in effect all insurance programs required to comply with Newco’s contractual obligations and such other insurance policies required by Law or as reasonably necessary or appropriate for companies operating a business similar to Newco’s. Such insurance programs may include but are not limited to general liability, commercial auto liability, worker’s compensation, employer’s liability, product/completed operations liability, pollution legal liability, surety bonds, professional services liability, property, cargo, employment practices liability, employee dishonesty/crime, directors’ and officers’ liability and fiduciary liability.

(c) Neither Newco nor any member of the Newco Group, in connection with making a claim under any insurance policy of Vornado or any member of the Vornado Group pursuant to this Section 5.1, shall take any action that would be reasonably likely to (i) have an adverse impact on the then-current relationship between Vornado or any member of the Vornado Group, on the one hand, and the applicable insurance company, on the other hand; (ii) result in the applicable insurance company terminating or reducing coverage, or increasing the amount of any premium owed by Vornado or any member of the Vornado Group under the applicable insurance policy; or (iii) otherwise compromise, jeopardize or interfere with the rights of Vornado or any member of the Vornado Group under the applicable insurance policy.

(d) All payments and reimbursements by Newco pursuant to this Section 5.1 will be made within fifteen (15) days after Newco’s receipt of an invoice therefor from Vornado. If Vornado incurs costs to enforce Newco’s obligations herein, Newco agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Vornado for such enforcement costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees pursuant to Section 4.6(b). Vornado shall retain the exclusive right to control its insurance policies and programs, including the right to exhaust, settle, release, commute, buy-back or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of its insurance policies and programs and to amend, modify or waive any rights under any such insurance policies and programs, notwithstanding whether any such policies or programs apply to any Newco Liabilities and/or claims Newco has made or could make in the future, and no member of the Newco Group shall erode, exhaust, settle, release, commute, buyback or otherwise resolve disputes with Vornado’s insurers with respect to any of Vornado’s insurance policies and programs, or amend, modify or waive any rights under any such insurance policies and programs. Newco shall cooperate with Vornado and share such information as is reasonably necessary in order to permit Vornado to manage and conduct its insurance matters as it deems appropriate, including but not limited to with respect to (i) any claims made pursuant to Section 5.1(a) and the management thereof, (ii) any policy premium

adjustments with respect to (A) Vornado’s Third Party insurance policies in place prior to the Effective Time and (B) Vornado’s historical policies of insurance, in each case to the extent that such policies provided coverage for members of the Newco Group prior to the Effective Time, and (iii) the release of any and all Vornado surety bonding obligations to the extent related to any such insurance policies described in clause (ii). Neither Vornado nor any of the members of the Vornado Group shall have any obligation to secure extended reporting for any claims under any Liability policies of Vornado or any member of the Vornado Group for any acts or omissions by any member of the Newco Group incurred prior to Effective Time.

(e) This Agreement shall not be considered as an attempted assignment of any policy of insurance or as a contract of insurance and shall not be construed to waive any right or remedy of any member of the Vornado Group in respect of any insurance policy or any other contract or policy of insurance.

(f) Newco does hereby, for itself and each other member of the Newco Group, agree that no member of the Vornado Group shall have any Liability whatsoever as a result of the insurance policies and practices of Vornado and the members of the Vornado Group as in effect at any time, including as a result of the level or scope of any such insurance, the creditworthiness of any insurance carrier, the terms and conditions of any policy, the adequacy or timeliness of any notice to any insurance carrier with respect to any claim or potential claim or otherwise.

5.2 Late Payments. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, any amount not paid when due pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (and any amounts billed or otherwise invoiced or demanded and properly payable that are not paid within thirty (30) days of such bill, invoice or other demand) shall accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to Prime Rate plus two (2%) percent.

5.3 Treatment of Payments for Tax Purposes. For all Tax purposes, the Parties and the members of their respective Groups shall treat (i) any payment made pursuant to this Agreement (other than payments representing interest) as either a contribution by the relevant entity or a distribution by the relevant entity (or as adjustments to such contribution or distribution) occurring immediately prior to the applicable contribution or Distribution, as the case may be, or as a payment of an assumed or retained Liability; and (ii) any payment of interest as taxable or deductible, as the case may be, to the party entitled under this Agreement to retain such payment or required under this Agreement to make such payment, in either case except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

5.4 Post-Effective Time Conduct. The parties hereto acknowledge that, after the Effective Time, each Party and its Group shall be independent of the other Party and its Group, with responsibility for its and their own actions and inactions and its and their own Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from the conduct of its and their business, operations and activities following the Effective Time, except as may otherwise be provided in any Ancillary Agreement, and each Party shall (except as otherwise provided in Article IV) use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent such Liabilities from being inappropriately borne by the other Party or the members of its Group.

5.5 Non-Solicitation Covenant. For the period of two (2) years from and after the Effective Time, Newco shall not, and shall procure that the other members of the Newco Group shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit or hire any employees of the Vornado Group who have been engaged in providing services to the Newco Group pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement without the prior written consent of Vornado; provided, however, that (i) an individual shall not be deemed to have been solicited for employment or hired in violation of this Section 5.5 if such employee has ceased to be employed by any member of the Vornado Group for at least six (6) months prior to the date when any solicitation activity occurs, and (ii) this Section 5.5 shall not prohibit any general offers of employment to the public, including through a bona fide search firm, so long as it is not specifically targeted toward employees of the Vornado Group.

ARTICLE VI
EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION; CONFIDENTIALITY

6.1 Agreement for Exchange of Information.

(a) Subject to Section 6.9 and any other applicable confidentiality obligations, each of Vornado and Newco, on behalf of itself and each member of its Group, agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide or make available, or cause to be provided or made available, to the other Party and the members of such other Party’s Group, at any time before, on or after the Effective Time, as soon as reasonably practicable after written request therefor, any information (or a copy thereof) in the possession or under the control of such Party or its Group to the extent that (i) such information relates to the DC Business, or any Newco Asset or Newco Liability, if Newco is the requesting Party, or to the Vornado Business, or any Vornado Asset or Vornado Liability, if Vornado is the requesting Party; (ii) such information is required by the requesting Party to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, the Master Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any Transfer Document; or (iii) such information is required by the requesting Party to comply with any obligation imposed by any Governmental Authority; provided, however, that, in the event that the Party to whom the request has been made determines that any such provision of information could be detrimental to the Party providing the information, violate any Law or agreement, or waive any privilege available under applicable Law, including any attorney-client privilege, then the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to permit compliance with such obligations to the extent and in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence. The Party providing information pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall only be obligated to provide such information in the form, condition and format in which it then exists, and in no event shall such Party be required to perform any improvement, modification, conversion, updating or reformatting of any such information, and nothing in this Section 6.1 shall expand the obligations of a Party under Section 6.4.

6.2 Ownership of Information. The provision of any information pursuant to Section 6.1 or Section 6.7 shall not affect the ownership of such information (which shall be determined solely in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements), or constitute a grant of rights in or to any such information.

6.3 Compensation for Providing Information. The Party requesting information agrees to reimburse the other Party for the reasonable costs, if any, of creating,

gathering, copying, transporting and otherwise complying with the request with respect to such information (including any reasonable costs and expenses incurred in any review of information for purposes of protecting the Privileged Information of the providing Party or in connection with the restoration of backup media for purposes of providing the requested information) to the extent that such costs are incurred in connection with such other Party’s provision of information in response to the requesting Party. Except as may be otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties, such costs shall be computed in accordance with the providing Party’s standard methodology and procedures.

6.4 Record Retention. To facilitate the possible exchange of information pursuant to this Article VI and other provisions of this Agreement after the Effective Time, the parties hereto agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts, which shall be no less rigorous than those used for retention of Vornado’s or JBG Properties’ own information, to retain all information in their respective possession or control on the Effective Time in accordance with the policies of such Persons as in effect on the Effective Time or such other policies as may be reasonably adopted by such Persons after the Effective Time; provided, however, that such policies at least provide for the retention of documents until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (giving effect to any extensions thereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 6.4, the Tax Matters Agreement will govern the retention of Tax-related records.

6.5 Limitations of Liability. No party hereto shall have any Liability to any other party hereto in the event that any information exchanged or provided pursuant to this Agreement is found to be inaccurate in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the party providing such information. No party hereto shall have any Liability to any other party if any information is destroyed after commercially reasonable efforts by such party to comply with the provisions of Section 6.4.

6.6 Other Agreements Providing for Exchange of Information.

(a) The rights and obligations granted under this Article VI are subject to any specific limitations, qualifications or additional provisions on the sharing, exchange, retention or confidential treatment of information set forth in the Master Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

(b) Any party hereto that receives, pursuant to a request for information in accordance with this Article VI, Tangible Information that is not relevant to its request shall, at the request of the providing Party, (i) return it to the providing Party or, at the providing Party’s request, destroy such Tangible Information; and (ii) deliver to the providing Party written confirmation that such Tangible Information was returned or destroyed, as the case may be, which confirmation shall be signed by an authorized representative of the requesting Party.

6.7 Production of Witnesses; Records; Cooperation.

(a) After the Effective Time, except in the case of an adversarial Action or Dispute between Vornado and Newco, or any members of their respective Groups, each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the other Party, upon written

request, the former, current and future directors, trustees, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of the members of its respective Group as witnesses and any books, records or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available without undue burden, to the extent that any such Person (giving consideration to business demands of such directors, trustees, officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or other documents may reasonably be required in connection with any Action in which the requesting Party (or member of its Group) may from time to time be involved, regardless of whether such Action is a matter with respect to which indemnification may be sought hereunder. The requesting Party shall bear all costs and expenses in connection therewith.

(b) If an Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or to seek to compromise or settle any Third-Party Claim, the other Party shall make available to such Indemnifying Party, upon written request, the former, current and future directors, trustees, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of the members of its respective Group as witnesses and any books, records or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available without undue burden, to the extent that any such Person (giving consideration to business demands of such directors, trustees, officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or other documents may reasonably be required in connection with such defense, settlement or compromise, or such prosecution, evaluation or pursuit, as the case may be, and shall otherwise cooperate in such defense, settlement or compromise, or such prosecution, evaluation or pursuit, as the case may be.

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties shall cooperate and consult to the extent reasonably necessary with respect to any Actions.

(d) Without limiting any provision of this Section 6.7, each of the Parties agrees to cooperate, and to cause each member of its respective Group to cooperate, with each other in the defense of any infringement or similar claim with respect any Intellectual Property and shall not claim to acknowledge, or permit any member of its respective Group to claim to acknowledge, the validity or infringing use of any Intellectual Property of a Third Party in a manner that would hamper or undermine the defense of such infringement or similar claim.

(e) The obligation of the Parties to provide witnesses pursuant to this Section 6.7 is intended to be interpreted in a manner so as to facilitate cooperation and shall include the obligation to provide as witnesses, inventors and other officers without regard to whether the witness or the employer of the witness could assert a possible business conflict (subject to the exception set forth in the first sentence of Section 6.7(a)).

6.8 Privileged Matters.

(a) The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services that have been and will be provided prior to the Effective Time have been and will be rendered for the collective benefit of each of the members of the Vornado Group and the Newco Group, and that each of the members of the Vornado Group and the Newco Group should be deemed to be the client with respect to such services for the purposes of asserting all privileges which may be asserted under applicable Law in connection therewith. The Parties recognize that legal and other

professional services will be provided following the Effective Time, which services will be rendered solely for the benefit of the Vornado Group or the Newco Group, as the case may be.

(b) The Parties agree as follows:

(i) Vornado shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to the Vornado Business and not to the DC Business, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the Vornado Group or any member of the Newco Group. Vornado shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to any Vornado Liabilities resulting from any Actions that are now pending or may be asserted in the future, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the Vornado Group or any member of the Newco Group;

(ii) Newco shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to the DC Business and not to the Vornado Business, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the Newco Group or any member of the Vornado Group. Newco shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to any Newco Liabilities resulting from any Actions that are now pending or may be asserted in the future, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the Newco Group or any member of the Vornado Group; and

(iii) if the Parties do not agree as to whether certain information is Privileged Information, then such information shall be treated as Privileged Information, and the Party that believes that such information is Privileged Information shall be entitled to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any such information unless the Parties otherwise agree. The Parties shall use the procedures set forth in Article VII to attempt to resolve any disputes as to whether any information relates solely to the Vornado Business, solely to the DC Business, or to both the Vornado Business and the DC Business.

(c) Subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 6.8, the Parties agree that they shall have a shared privilege or immunity with respect to all privileges and immunities not allocated pursuant to Section 6.8(b) and all privileges and immunities relating to any Actions or other matters that involve both Parties (or one or more members of their respective Groups) and in respect of which both Parties (or one or more members of their respective Groups) have Liabilities under this Agreement, and that no such shared privilege or immunity may be waived by either Party without the consent of the other Party.

(d) If any Dispute arises between the Parties or any members of their respective Groups regarding whether a privilege or immunity should be waived to protect or advance the interests of either Party and/or any member of their respective Groups, each Party

agrees that it shall (i) negotiate with the other Party in good faith; (ii) endeavor to minimize any prejudice to the rights of the other Party; and (iii) not unreasonably withhold consent to any request for waiver by the other Party. Further, each Party specifically agrees that it shall not withhold its consent to the waiver of a privilege or immunity for any purpose except in good faith to protect its own legitimate interests.

(e) In the event of any adversarial Action or Dispute between Vornado and Newco, or any members of their respective Groups, either Party may waive a privilege in which the other Party or member of such other Party’s Group has a shared privilege, without obtaining consent pursuant to Section 6.8(c); provided that such waiver of a shared privilege shall be effective only as to the use of information with respect to the Action between the Parties and/or the applicable members of their respective Groups, and shall not operate as a waiver of the shared privilege with respect to any Third Party.

(f) Upon receipt by either Party, or by any member of its respective Group, of any subpoena, discovery or other request that may reasonably be expected to result in the production or disclosure of Privileged Information subject to a shared privilege or immunity or as to which the other Party has the sole right hereunder to assert a privilege or immunity, or if either Party obtains knowledge that any of its, or any member of its respective Group’s, current or former directors, trustees, officers, agents or employees have received any subpoena, discovery or other requests that may reasonably be expected to result in the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party of the existence of the request (which notice shall be delivered to such other Party no later than five (5) business days following the receipt of any such subpoena, discovery or other request) and shall provide the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review the Privileged Information and to assert any rights it or they may have under this Section 6.8 or otherwise, to prevent the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information.

(g) Any furnishing of, or access or transfer of, any information pursuant to this Agreement is made in reliance on the agreement of Vornado and Newco set forth in this Section 6.8 and in Section 6.9 to maintain the confidentiality of Privileged Information and to assert and maintain all applicable privileges and immunities. The Parties agree that their respective rights to any access to information, witnesses and other Persons, the furnishing of notices and documents and other cooperative efforts between the Parties contemplated by this Agreement, and the transfer of Privileged Information between the Parties and members of their respective Groups pursuant to this Agreement, shall not be deemed a waiver of any privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise.

(h) In connection with any matter contemplated by Section 6.7 or this Section 6.8, the Parties agree to, and to cause the applicable members of their Group to, use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain their respective separate and joint privileges and immunities, including by executing joint defense and/or common interest agreements where necessary or useful for this purpose.

6.9 Confidentiality.

(a) Confidentiality. Subject to Section 6.10, from and after the Effective Time until the five (5)-year anniversary of the Effective Time, each of Vornado and Newco, on behalf of itself and each member of its respective Group, agrees to hold, and to cause its respective Representatives to hold, in strict confidence, with at least the same degree of care that applies to Vornado’s or JBG Properties’ respective confidential and proprietary information pursuant to policies in effect as of the Effective Time, all confidential and proprietary information concerning the other Party or any member of the other Party’s Group or their respective businesses that is either in its possession (including confidential and proprietary information in its possession prior to the date hereof) or furnished by any such other Party or any member of such Party’s Group or their respective Representatives at any time pursuant to this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or otherwise, and shall not use any such confidential and proprietary information other than for such purposes as shall be expressly permitted hereunder or thereunder, except, in each case, to the extent that such confidential and proprietary information has been (i) in the public domain or generally available to the public, other than as a result of a disclosure by such Party or any member of such Party’s Group or any of their respective Representatives in violation of this Agreement, (ii) later lawfully acquired from other sources by such Party (or any member of such Party’s Group) which sources are not themselves bound by a confidentiality obligation or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality with respect to such confidential and proprietary information, or (iii) independently developed or generated without reference to or use of any proprietary or confidential information of the other Party or any member of such Party’s Group. If any confidential and proprietary information of one Party or any member of its Group is disclosed to the other Party or any member of such other Party’s Group in connection with providing services to such first Party or any member of such first Party’s Group under this Agreement, the Master Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, then such disclosed confidential and proprietary information shall be used only as required to perform such services.

(b) No Release; Return or Destruction. Each Party agrees not to release or disclose, or permit to be released or disclosed, any information addressed in Section 6.9(a) to any other Person, except its Representatives who need to know such information in their capacities as such (who shall be advised of their obligations hereunder with respect to such information), and except in compliance with Section 6.10. Without limiting the foregoing, when any such information is no longer needed for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, each Party will promptly after request of the other Party either return to the other Party all such information in a tangible form (including all copies thereof and all notes, extracts or summaries based thereon) or notify the other Party in writing that it has destroyed such information (and such copies thereof and such notes, extracts or summaries based thereon).

(c) Third-Party Information; Privacy or Data Protection Laws. Each Party acknowledges that it and members of its Group may presently have and, following the Effective Time, may gain access to or possession of confidential or proprietary information of, or personal information relating to, Third Parties (i) that was received under confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements entered into between such Third Parties, on the one hand, and the other Party or members of such Party’s Group, on the other hand, prior to the Effective Time; or (ii) that, as between the two Parties, was originally collected by the other Party or members of such Party’s Group and that may be subject to and protected by privacy, data protection or other applicable Laws. Each Party agrees that it shall hold, protect and use, and shall cause the members of its

Group and its and their respective Representatives to hold, protect and use, in strict confidence the confidential and proprietary information of, or personal information relating to, Third Parties in accordance with privacy, data protection or other applicable Laws and the terms of any agreements that were either entered into before the Effective Time or affirmative commitments or representations that were made before the Effective Time by, between or among the other Party or members of the other Party’s Group, on the one hand, and such Third Parties, on the other hand.

(d) Assignment of Non-Disclosure and Confidentiality Agreements. At or prior to the Effective Time, Vornado shall assign, or cause to be assigned, to a member of the Newco Group any rights under non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements to which any member of the Vornado Group (which is not a member of the Newco Group) is a party to the extent restricting the use or disclosure of information of the DC Business (including any such agreement entered into in connection with the possible sale of the DC Business with any potential purchaser thereof); provided that in the event that such assignment cannot be completed or such agreement also restricts the use or disclosure of information of the Vornado Business, Vornado shall not be required to assign or cause such assignment, but shall enforce, or shall cause to be enforced, such agreements for the benefit of the DC Business as reasonably requested by Newco at Newco’s sole cost and expense.

6.10 Protective Arrangements. In the event that a Party or any member of its Group either determines on the advice of its counsel that it is required to disclose any information pursuant to applicable Law or receives any request or demand under lawful process or from any Governmental Authority to disclose or provide information of the other Party (or any member of the other Party’s Group) that is subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof, such Party shall notify the other Party (to the extent legally permitted) as promptly as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances prior to disclosing or providing such information, shall consult with the other Party on the advisability of taking steps to resist or narrow such disclosure, and shall cooperate, following the other Party’s written request and at the other Party’s expense, in seeking any appropriate protective order requested by the other Party or in any attempt to resist such disclosure. In the event that such other Party fails to receive such appropriate protective order in a timely manner and the Party receiving the request or demand reasonably determines that its failure to disclose or provide such information shall actually prejudice the Party receiving the request or demand, then the Party that received such request or demand may thereafter disclose or provide information to the extent required by such Law (as so advised by its counsel) or by lawful process or such Governmental Authority, and the disclosing Party shall promptly provide the other Party with a copy of the information so disclosed, in the same form and format so disclosed, together with a list of all Persons to whom such information was disclosed, in each case to the extent legally permitted.

ARTICLE VII
DISPUTE RESOLUTION

7.1 Good-Faith Negotiation. Either Party seeking resolution of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (including regarding whether any Assets are Newco Assets, any Liabilities are Newco Liabilities or the validity, interpretation, breach or termination of this Agreement or any Ancillary

Agreement) (a “Dispute”), shall provide written notice thereof to the other Party (the “Initial Notice”), and within fifteen (15) days of the delivery of the Initial Notice, the Parties shall attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the Dispute. The negotiations shall be conducted by executives who hold, at a minimum, the title of vice president. All such negotiations shall be confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence. Any resolution reached by the applicable executives through negotiation shall be subject to final approval by the Chief Administrative Officer of Vornado and the Chief Executive Officer of Newco. If the Parties are unable for any reason to resolve a Dispute within fifteen (15) days after the delivery of such notice or if a Party reasonably concludes that the other Party is not willing to negotiate as contemplated by this Section 7.1, either Party may pursue any and all rights and remedies at Law or in equity available to it with respect to the Dispute. Nothing herein shall limit or otherwise affect the rights of the Parties under Section 10.16.

7.2 Mediation. Any Dispute not resolved pursuant to Section 7.1 shall, at the written request of a Party (a “Mediation Request”), be submitted to nonbinding mediation in accordance with the then-current JAMS procedures, except as modified herein. The mediation shall be held in such place as the Parties may mutually agree in writing. The Parties shall have twenty (20) days from receipt by a Party of a Mediation Request to agree on a mediator from the JAMS panel. If no mediator has been agreed upon by the Parties within twenty (20) days of receipt by a party of a Mediation Request, then a Party may request (on written notice to the other Party), that JAMS appoint a mediator in accordance with the then current JAMS procedures from mediators on the JAMS panel. All mediation pursuant to this clause shall be confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence, and no oral or documentary representations made by the Parties during such mediation shall be admissible for any purpose in any subsequent proceedings. No Party shall disclose or permit the disclosure of any information about the evidence adduced or the documents produced by the other Party in the mediation proceedings or about the existence, contents or results of the mediation without the prior written consent of such other Party, except in the course of a judicial or regulatory proceeding or as may be required by Law or requested by a Governmental Authority or securities exchange. Before making any disclosure permitted by the preceding sentence, the Party intending to make such disclosure shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, give the other Party reasonable written notice of the intended disclosure and afford the other party a reasonable opportunity to protect its interests. If the Dispute has not been resolved within sixty (60) days of the appointment of a mediator, or within ninety (90) days after receipt by a Party of a Mediation Request (whichever occurs sooner), or within such longer period as the Parties may agree to in writing, then the Dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with Section 7.3.

7.3 Arbitration.

(a) In the event that a Dispute has not been resolved within sixty (60) days of the appointment of a mediator in accordance with Section 7.2, or within ninety (90) days after receipt by a Party of a Mediation Request (whichever occurs sooner), or within such longer period as the Parties may agree to in writing, then such Dispute shall, upon the written request of a Party (the “Arbitration Request”) be submitted to be finally resolved by binding arbitration pursuant to the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The arbitration shall be

held in the same location as the mediation pursuant to Section 7.2. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, any Dispute to be decided pursuant to this Section 7.3 will be decided (i) before a sole arbitrator if the amount in dispute, inclusive of all claims and counterclaims, totals less than $5 million; or (ii) by a panel of three (3) arbitrators if the amount in dispute, inclusive of all claims and counterclaims, totals $5 million or more. Arbitrators shall be named from the JAMS panel.

(b) The panel of three (3) arbitrators will be chosen as follows: (i) within fifteen (15) days from the date of the receipt of the Arbitration Request, each Party will name an arbitrator; and (ii) the two (2) Party-appointed arbitrators will thereafter, within thirty (30) days from the date on which the second of the two (2) arbitrators was named, name a third, independent arbitrator who will act as chairperson of the arbitral tribunal. In the event that either Party fails to name an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of the Arbitration Request, then upon written application by either Party, that arbitrator shall be appointed pursuant to the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures from the JAMS panel. In the event that the two (2) Party-appointed arbitrators fail to appoint the third, then the third, independent arbitrator will be appointed pursuant to the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. If the arbitration will be before a sole independent arbitrator, then the sole independent arbitrator will be appointed by agreement of the Parties within fifteen (15) days of the date of receipt of the Arbitration Request. If the Parties cannot agree to a sole independent arbitrator, then upon written application by either party, the sole independent arbitrator will be appointed pursuant to the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures from the JAMS panel.

(c) The arbitrator(s) will have the right to award, on an interim basis, or include in the final award, any relief which it deems proper in the circumstances, including money damages (with interest on unpaid amounts from the due date), injunctive relief (including specific performance) and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs which will be reviewed by the arbitrator(s) for reasonableness; provided that the arbitrator(s) will not award any relief not specifically requested by the Parties and, in any event, will not award any indirect, punitive, exemplary, remote, speculative or similar damages in excess of compensatory damages of the other arising in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (other than any such Liability to a Third Party with respect to a Third-Party Claim). Upon selection of the arbitrator(s) following any grant of interim relief by a special arbitrator or court pursuant to Section 7.4, the arbitrator(s) may affirm or disaffirm that relief, and the Parties will seek modification or rescission of the order entered by the court as necessary to accord with the decision of the arbitrator(s). The award of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding on the Parties and the members of their respective Groups, and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The initiation of mediation or arbitration pursuant to this Article VII will toll the applicable statute of limitations for the duration of any such proceedings.

7.4 Litigation and Unilateral Commencement of Arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article VII, (a) a Party may seek preliminary provisional or injunctive judicial relief with respect to a Dispute without first complying with the procedures set forth in Section 7.1, Section 7.2 and Section 7.3 if such action is reasonably necessary to avoid irreparable damage and (b) either Party may initiate arbitration before the expiration of the periods specified in Section 7.2 and Section 7.3 if (i) such Party has submitted a Mediation

Request or Arbitration Request, as applicable, and the other party has failed, within the applicable periods set forth in Section 7.3, to agree upon a date for the first mediation session to take place within thirty (30) days after the appointment of such mediator or such longer period as the Parties may agree to in writing or (ii) such Party has failed to comply with Section 7.3 in good faith with respect to commencement and engagement in arbitration.

FURTHER ASSURANCES AND ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

8.1 Further Assurances.

(a) In addition to the actions specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall use commercially reasonable best efforts, prior to, on and after the Effective Time, to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws, regulations and agreements to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, prior to, on and after the Effective Time, each party hereto shall cooperate with the other parties hereto, and without any further consideration, but, from and after the Effective Time, at the expense of the requesting party, execute and deliver, or use commercially reasonable best efforts to cause to be executed and delivered, all instruments, including instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer, and to make all filings with, and to obtain all Approvals or Notifications of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person under any Permit, license, agreement, indenture or other instrument (including any consents or Governmental Approvals), and to take or cause to be taken all such other actions as such party may reasonably be requested to take or cause to be taken by the other parties hereto from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, in order to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the transfers of the Newco Assets and the Vornado Assets and the assignment and assumption of the Newco Liabilities and the Vornado Liabilities and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Without limiting the foregoing, each party hereto will, at the reasonable request, cost and expense of another party hereto, take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to vest in such other Party good and marketable title to the Assets allocated to such party under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, free and clear of any Security Interest, if and to the extent it is practicable to do so.

(c) On or prior to the Effective Time, Vornado and Newco in their respective capacities as direct and indirect shareholders of the members of their Groups, shall each ratify

any actions which are reasonably necessary or desirable to be taken by Vornado, Newco or any of the members of their respective Groups, as the case may be, to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

(d) Vornado and Newco, and each of the members of their respective Groups, waive (and agree not to assert against any of the others) any claim or demand that any of them may have against any of the others for any Liabilities or other claims relating to or arising out of: (i) the failure of Newco or any other member of the Newco Group, on the one hand, or of Vornado or any other member of the Vornado Group, on the other hand, to provide any notification or disclosure required under any state Environmental Law in connection with the Separation or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the transfer by any member of any Group to any member of the other Group of ownership or operational control of any Assets not previously owned or operated by such transferee; or (ii) any inadequate, incorrect or incomplete notification or disclosure under any such state Environmental Law by the applicable transferor. To the extent any Liability to any Governmental Authority or any Third Party arises out of any action or inaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above, the transferee of the applicable Asset hereby assumes and agrees to pay any such Liability (except in the case of willful misconduct).

ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION

9.1 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate simultaneously with the valid termination of the Master Agreement prior to the Closing Date (as defined in the Master Agreement). Except for a termination described in the immediately preceding sentence, prior to the Closing Date (as defined in the Master Agreement), Newco shall not agree to terminate this Agreement without the prior written consent of JBG Properties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. After the Closing Date (as defined in the Master Agreement), this Agreement may not be terminated except by an agreement in writing signed by a duly authorized officer of each of the parties hereto.

9.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of any termination of this Agreement prior to the Effective Time, no party hereto (nor any of its directors, trustees, officers or employees) shall have any Liability or further obligation to any other party hereto by reason of this Agreement.

ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Counterparts; Entire Agreement; Corporate Power.

(a) This Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties hereto.

(b) This Agreement, the Master Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the Exhibits, Schedules and Appendices hereto and thereto contain the entire agreement between the

parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, supersede all previous agreements, negotiations, discussions, writings, understandings, commitments and conversations with respect to such subject matter, and there are no agreements or understandings between the parties hereto other than those set forth or referred to herein or therein.

(c) Vornado represents on behalf of itself and each other member of the Vornado Group, and Newco represents on behalf of itself and each other member of the Newco Group, as follows:

(i) each such Person has the requisite power and authority and has taken all action necessary in order to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to which it is a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; and

(ii) this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to which it is a party has been duly executed and delivered by it and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of it enforceable in accordance with the terms thereof.

(d) Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it and each other party is executing certain of the Ancillary Agreements by facsimile, stamp or mechanical signature, and that delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (whether executed by manual, stamp or mechanical signature) by facsimile or by email in portable document format (PDF) shall be effective as delivery of such executed counterpart of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. Each party expressly adopts and confirms each such facsimile, stamp or mechanical signature (regardless of whether delivered in person, by mail, by courier, by facsimile or by email in portable document format (PDF)) made in its respective name as if it were a manual signature delivered in person, agrees that it will not assert that any such signature or delivery is not adequate to bind such party to the same extent as if it were signed manually and delivered in person and agrees that, at the reasonable request of the other parties hereto at any time, it will as promptly as is reasonably practicable cause each such Ancillary Agreement to be manually executed (any such execution to be as of the date of the initial date thereof) and delivered in person, by mail or by courier.

10.2 Governing Law.

(a) This Agreement, and all claims or causes of actions (whether at Law, in contract or in tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or related to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York).

(b) All Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in the state courts sitting in the City, County and State of New York, or if jurisdiction over the matter is vested exclusively in federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and the appellate courts to which orders and judgments thereof may be appealed (the “Chosen Courts”). Each of the parties hereto hereby

irrevocably and unconditionally (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto, whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise, (b) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in such courts, (c) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any Chosen Court, (d) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding, and (e) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.7. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

10.3 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE EITHER OF SUCH WAIVERS, (B) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (C) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.3.

10.4 Assignability. Except as set forth in any Ancillary Agreement, this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the parties thereto, respectively, and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that no party hereto nor any such party thereto may assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement without the express prior written consent of the other parties hereto or other parties thereto, as applicable, and any attempt to do so shall be null and void (provided that prior to the Effective Time, Newco shall not assign this Agreement or consent to an assignment of this Agreement without the prior written consent of JBG Properties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such consent shall be required for the assignment of a party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (except as may be otherwise provided in any such Ancillary Agreement) in whole (i.e., the assignment of a party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and all Ancillary Agreements all at the same time) in connection with a change of control of a party so long as the resulting, surviving or transferee Person assumes all the obligations of the relevant party thereto by operation of Law or pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the other parties hereto.

10.5 Subsidiaries. Each of the Parties shall cause to be performed, and hereby guarantees the performance of, all actions, agreements and obligations set forth herein to be performed by any Subsidiary of such Party or by any Person that becomes a Subsidiary of such Party at or after the Effective Time, in each case to the extent such Subsidiary remains a Subsidiary of the applicable Party.

10.6 Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for the indemnification rights under this Agreement of any Vornado Indemnitee or Newco Indemnitee in their respective capacities as such, and except for JBG Operating Partners, who shall be a Third Party beneficiary of the rights of Newco under this Agreement, (a) the provisions of this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement are solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and are not intended to confer upon any Person except the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder, and (b) there are no Third Party beneficiaries of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement and neither this Agreement nor any Ancillary Agreement shall provide any Third Party with any remedy, claim, Liability, reimbursement, claim of action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; provided, however, that JBG Properties shall be a Third Party beneficiary of the rights of JBG Properties as provided in this Agreement and the other Ancillary Agreements.

10.7 Notices.

All notices, requests, demands, claims and other communications which are required or may be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) when received if delivered personally; (ii) when transmitted if transmitted by e-mail of a pdf attachment and the hard copy is sent by the next business day by reliable overnight delivery service (with proof of service) or hand delivery); and (iii) the business day after it is sent, if sent for next day delivery by reliable overnight delivery service (with proof of service), hand delivery or certified or registered mail (return receipt requested and first-class postage prepaid), addressed as follows (or at such other address for a Party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 10.7).

A Party may, by notice to the other Party, change the address to which such notices are to be given.

10.8 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is determined by an arbitration tribunal or a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof or thereof, or the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances or in jurisdictions other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby. Upon such determination, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon such a suitable and equitable provision to effect the original intent of the parties hereto.

10.9 Force Majeure. No party hereto shall be deemed in default of this Agreement or, unless otherwise expressly provided therein, any Ancillary Agreement for any delay or failure to fulfill any obligation (other than a payment obligation) hereunder or thereunder so long as and to the extent to which any delay or failure in the fulfillment of such obligation is prevented, frustrated, hindered or delayed as a consequence of circumstances of Force Majeure. In the event of any such excused delay, the time for performance of such obligations (other than a payment obligation) shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of the delay. A Party claiming the benefit of this provision shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of any such event, (a) provide written notice to the other Party of the nature and extent of any such Force Majeure condition; and (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to remove any such causes and resume performance under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, as applicable, as soon as reasonably practicable.

10.10 No Set-Off. Except as set forth in any Ancillary Agreement or as otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties, neither any Party nor any member of such Party’s Group shall have any right of set-off or other similar rights with respect to (a) any amounts received pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; or (b) any other amounts claimed to be owed to such Party or any member of its Group arising out of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

10.11 Publicity. Prior to the Effective Time, Vornado and Newco shall consult with JBG Properties before issuing any press release or other public announcement that relates to the transactions contemplated hereby. Any such press release or public announcement shall comply with the requirements in Section 5.3 of the Master Agreement. From and after the Effective Time, the Chief Executive Officer of Newco and the Chief Administrative Officer of Vornado shall consult with each other prior to either Party or any member of their respective Groups issuing any press releases or otherwise making public statements with respect to the Separation, the Distribution or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby or under any Ancillary Agreement and prior to making any filings with any Governmental Authority with respect thereto.

10.12 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Master Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or as otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties, (a) Newco shall be responsible for all reasonable out-of-pocket Third Party fees, costs and expenses incurred on or prior to the Effective Time in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and implementation of this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement, the Separation, the Form 10, the Plan of Reorganization and the Distribution and the consummation

of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; and (b) all fees, costs and expenses incurred after the Effective Time shall be borne by the Party or its applicable Subsidiary incurring such fees, costs or expenses.

10.13 Headings. The article, section and paragraph headings contained in this Agreement and in the Ancillary Agreements are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

10.14 Survival of Covenants. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the covenants, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement, and Liability for the breach of any obligations contained herein, shall survive the Separation and the Distribution and shall remain in full force and effect.

10.15 Waivers of Default. Waiver by a party hereto of any default by another party hereto of any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving party of any subsequent or other default, nor shall it prejudice the rights of any other party. No failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof prejudice any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

10.16 Specific Performance. In the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the party or parties hereto who are, or are to be, thereby aggrieved shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief in respect of its or their rights under this Agreement or such Ancillary Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at Law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. The parties hereto agree that the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any Loss and that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is waived. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are waived by each of the parties hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, JBG Properties shall, during the term of this Agreement, have the right to enforce specifically the obligations of Vornado and Newco set forth herein.

10.17 Amendments. No provisions of this Agreement, including any Exhibit, Schedule or Appendices hereto, or any Ancillary Agreement shall be deemed waived, amended, supplemented or modified by a party hereto, unless such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification is in writing and signed by the authorized representative of the party hereto against whom it is sought to enforce such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification. In addition, unless the Master Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms, any such amendment, waiver, supplement or modification shall be subject to the prior written consent of JBG Operating Partners.

and “herewith” and words of similar import shall, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement (or the applicable Ancillary Agreement) as a whole (including all of the Schedules, Exhibits and Appendices hereto and thereto) and not to any particular provision of this Agreement (or such Ancillary Agreement); (c) Article, Section, Schedule, Exhibit and Appendix references are to the Articles, Sections, Schedules, Exhibits and Appendices to this Agreement (or the applicable Ancillary Agreement) unless otherwise specified; (d) unless otherwise stated, all references to any agreement shall be deemed to include the exhibits, schedules and annexes to such agreement; (e) the word “including” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement (or the applicable Ancillary Agreement) shall mean “including, without limitation,” unless otherwise specified; (f) the word “or” shall not be exclusive; (g) unless otherwise specified in a particular case, the word “days” refers to calendar days; (h) references to “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or required by Law to close in the United States or New York, New York; (i) references herein to this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement or such other agreement as of the date on which it is executed and as it may be amended, modified or supplemented thereafter, unless otherwise specified; and (j) unless expressly stated to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, all references to “the date hereof,” “the date of this Agreement,” “hereby” and “hereupon” and words of similar import shall all be references to July 17, 2017. In the case of any conflict between this Agreement and any of the Transition Services Agreement, the Tax Matters Agreement and the Employee Matters Agreement in relation to any matters addressed by such Ancillary Agreement, the applicable Ancillary Agreement shall prevail unless such Ancillary Agreement explicitly states that this Agreement shall control. In the case of any conflict between this Agreement and the Master Agreement, the Master Agreement shall control.

10.19 Limitations of Liability. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, but without limiting any recovery expressly provided by Section 7.3, neither Newco or any member of the Newco Group, on the one hand, nor Vornado or any member of the Vornado Group, on the other hand, shall be liable under this Agreement to the other for any indirect, punitive, exemplary, remote, speculative or similar damages in excess of compensatory damages of the other arising in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (other than any such Liability with respect to a Third-Party Claim).

10.20 Performance. Vornado will cause to be performed, and hereby guarantees the performance of, all actions, agreements and obligations set forth in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement to be performed by any member of the Vornado Group. Newco will cause to be performed, and hereby guarantees the performance of, all actions, agreements and obligations set forth in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement to be performed by any member of the Newco Group. Each Party (including its permitted successors and assigns) further agrees that it will (a) give timely notice of the terms, conditions and continuing obligations contained in this Agreement and any applicable Ancillary Agreement to all of the other members of its Group and (b) cause all of the other members of its Group not to take any action or fail to take any such action inconsistent with such Party’s obligations under this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

10.21 Mutual Drafting. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall be deemed to be the joint work product of the parties hereto and any rule of construction that a
