The recitals set forth above are incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this
Assignment.
2. Assignor absolutely and irrevocably sells, transfers, conveys, and delivers to Assignee, and
Assignee hereby accepts from Assignor, as of the Effective Date, all of Assignor's rights and interest in
connection with the Property and Premises and any access and/or utility easements or licenses thereto, and
all of Assignor's governmental permits and the like related thereto, if any. Assignor warrants to Assignee
that (i) all rights conveyed hereunder were owned and/or controlled entirely by Assignor immediately prior
to the conveyance to Assignee and (ii) Assignor has the right to convey all such rights and interests to
Assignee.
3. Assignee hereby assumes all of Assignor's rights, obligations, title, and interest in, to and
under the Assigned Agreements accruing on and after the Effective Date.
4. Any reference to "lessor" or "lessee" or the like in this Assignment shall be interpreted
broadly to include the appropriate term for such party in the context of the applicable underlying document.
For example, but without limitation, if a third party is referred to herein as "lessee", but the applicable
underlying document is a license identifying such third party as a licensee, then "lessee" herein shall be
deemed to mean "licensee" for such third party.

by Assignor and Assignee, or their respective successors or assigns.

assigned freely, in whole or in part, by Assignee and its successors and assigns.
7. If this Assignment is executed in several counterparts, all counterparts shall constitute one
and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Assignment by email, facsimile or
other electronic transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart,
provided, however, that any party delivering such executed counterpart by email, facsimile or other
electronic transmission shall promptly forward a manually executed, original counterpart to the other party.
8. If any provision of this Assignment is held to be void, invalid or unenforceable by a court
of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to be
operative, valid, and enforceable to reflect the intent of the parties most closely as expressed herein, or if
such modification is not practicable, such provision shall be deemed deleted from this Assignment and the
other provisions of this Assignment shall remain in full force and effect.
