When interpreting a contractual prohibition qualified by temporal words (e.g., 'until the Lease comes to an end'), the temporal limitation may qualify the scope of the prohibited activity rather than merely the period during which the prohibition applies. Context and purpose must always be considered, even where the text appears unambiguous on its face. The phrase 'all or any part' in an assignment clause denotes the whole or any one or more of the specified rights and obligations, and does not impose a minimum content requirement on what may be assigned.
