When all copies have been signed on behalf of BRA and each of the copies prepared

give written notice of such fact to all Participants and this Assignment to the Multiple
Agreements shall thereupon become effective. BRA shall retain possession of one copy

Participant on the other hand. Each Participant shall receive possession of one copy
executed by the Authority on the one hand and by it on the other hand. This Assignment

Participants and subjects to enforcement by any party against any other.
