The Signatory HEREBY GIVES ASSURANCE that it will promptly take measures to effect this agreement. If any real property or structure thereon is provided or improved with the aid of Federal financial assistance extended to the Signatory or ED, this assurance shall obligate the Signatory, or in the case of transfer of such property any transferee, for the period during which the real property or structure is used for a purpose for which the Federal financial assistance is extended or for another purpose involving the provision of similar services or benefits.
