In connection with the transaction, Assignee assumed all Project Rights and Obligations from and after August 7, 2023 and agreed to pay KRG Development an assignment fee of up to $3.5 million (the “Assignment Fee”), which is due and payable upon the completion of certain development activities that are expected to occur in 2024.
