WHEREAS, Assignor has agreed to transfer to Assignee any and all of the rights, title
and interest of Assignor as grantee under the Easements, including, but not limited to, those

representations and agreements contained herein, together for $10.00 and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties
agree as follows.
1. Assignor hereby quit claims, conveys and assigns unto Assignee, its successors
and assigns, all right, title and interest of Assignor, if any, together with all other recorded or
unrecorded rights, privileges, easements, licenses, and rights to use public and private roads,
highways, streets, railroads and other areas owned or used by Assignor in connection with the

2. Assignee hereby accepts the transfer and assignment of the Easements as set forth
in Paragraph 1 herein, and assumes the performance, obligations, duties and liabilities of
Assignor under such Easements as of the date hereof. As of the date of this Assignment, and
pursuant to the Amended Interlocal Agreement, Assignor’s obligations and responsibilities to act
under such Easements shall cease and terminate. Except as otherwise set forth in the Amended
Interlocal Agreement, Assignor shall have no liability or obligation with respect to the
Easements after the date hereof, other than that attributable to the period prior to the date of the
Assignment. Seller makes no representations, warranties or covenants concerning the Easements
other than those set forth in the Amended Interlocal Agreement.

remedies hereunder.

construction, capacity, performance or otherwise, by the laws of the State of Florida applicable
to contracts made and to be performed within that state. Nothing herein shall be construed to
waive any defense of sovereign immunity that Assignee may be lawfully entitled to assert under
applicable Florida law.
6. If any term or provision of this Assignment shall, to any extent or for any reason,
be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Assignment shall not be affected
thereby and shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision had never been
contained herein or been applicable in such circumstances.
7. This Assignment incorporates the Amended Interlocal Agreement and by
reference all definitions, terms, provisions, conditions and limitations set forth therein. In the
event of any conflict or inconsistency between the definitions, terms, provisions, conditions and
limitations set forth in the Amended Interlocal Agreement and those which are set forth in this
Assignment, the definitions, terms, provisions, conditions and limitations set forth in the
Amended Interlocal Agreement shall supersede and prevail.
8. This Assignment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same Assignment.
Executed as of the day and year first above written.
