12.
No Partnership or Joint Venture Created.

13.
Entire Agreement.

Modification. This Assignment may not be altered, amended, or modified in any respect, except by a writing duly executed by all the parties.

19.
Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence under this Assignment.
20.
Separate Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Assignment may be executed in four (4) separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed to be an original and to constitute the one and same contract.
