Assignment Cancellation. A. Simultaneously herewith, Vornado Realty Trust has entered into a Guaranty, dated the date hereof, in favor of Owner, guaranteeing performance of the duties and obligations of Manager hereunder, and agreeing, to the extent necessary, to make available to the Specified Vornado Affiliate the resources of Vornado Realty Trust for the purposes of carrying out such duties and obligations, (the “Guaranty”). Neither Owner nor Manager shall assign this Agreement or any of its rights hereunder without the consent of the other party; provided, however, that Manager shall have the right to assign its rights and delegate its duties under this Agreement to any Specified Vornado Affiliate (as defined herein) without the consent of Owner, provided that, (a) in connection with any such assignment, Manager shall cause Vornado Realty Trust to deliver a ratification of the Guarantee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Owner, (b) notwithstanding any such assignment to a Specified Vornado Affiliate, the indemnification of Owner by Vornado Realty Trust set forth in Article XI hereof shall remain the obligation of Vornado Realty Trust, and (c) references to the standard of care, customarily provided services and reporting standards applicable to Manager in performing its duties under this Management Agreement shall continue to be the same standard of care and reporting standards applicable to Vornado Realty Trust in connection with property owned by Vornado Realty Trust; and further provided that Owner shall have the right to collaterally assign its rights under this Agreement to one or more lenders providing financing with respect to the Property. For purposes of this Article VIII, “Specified Vornado Affiliate” shall mean Vornado Realty L.P. or Vornado Realty Trust or any entity which directly or indirectly controls either of them, is directly or indirectly controlled by either of them or is under direct or indirect common control with either of them. B. In the event that there is a change of control of Vornado Realty Trust or Manager after the date of this Agreement, Owner shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if Owner shall determine that such change of control is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the ability of Manager to perform its obligations under this Agreement. For purposes of this Article VIII, “change of control” shall mean that the aggregate interest of Interstate Properties and its partners in Vornado Realty Trust shall be less than twenty percent of the ownership interests therein. C. In the event that all of the Property is sold or otherwise disposed of, this Agreement shall, from and after the date of any such sale or disposition, cease and terminate and all accrued but unpaid Management and Development Fees (i.e., accrued Development Fees being calculated not on total Development Costs but only on the Development Costs accrued up to the date of termination) shall thereupon be due and payable. As to any sale or disposition from time to time of portions of the Property, from and after the date of any such sale or disposition, this Agreement shall cease to apply as to such portions of the Property and Owner and Manager hereby agree that the Management Fee shall be equitably adjusted downward if appropriate to the extent required to reflect the decrease (if any) in services rendered. In the event that Owner and Manager are unable to agree on the amount of the adjustment as provided in this paragraph, then the parties hereto hereby agree that the dispute shall be submitted promptly by them to the American Arbitration Association for the City of New York for determination in accordance with its rules, and such determination shall be binding upon both parties. D. This Agreement shall be non-cancelable, except as permitted by the terms of this Agreement.
