(b) the Partnership is agreeing to use its good faith efforts to sell, assign, convey and transfer to the Company all rights it may have in and to the Exuma Concrete Plant Interest free and clear of all liens and other encumbrances as soon as practicable taking into account the time required to collect all necessary approvals and consents to such transfer and any approvals or consents required by the partners of the Partnership.

3. Closing. The closing (“Closing”) of the satisfaction and cancellation of the EBR Debt is taking place simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement at the offices of the Company, at 10:00 A.M., local time, on the date hereof.

(i) The Cash Payment; and

(ii) Any other documents and instruments reasonably required by the Company to effect the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
