of this Agreement shall be completed on the date of this Agreement in the
following order:
First, the transactions provided for in Article II shall be
completed;

(b) The contribution of the Excluded Assets to WBE LLC shall be
effective for all purposes as of the Effective Time.
9.2 Consents; Restriction on Assignment. If there are prohibitions
against or conditions to the contribution and conveyance of one or more portions
of the Excluded Assets without the prior written consent of third parties,
including, without limitation, governmental agencies (other than consents of a
ministerial nature which are normally granted in the ordinary course of
business), which if not satisfied would result in a breach of such prohibitions
or conditions or would give an outside party the right to terminate WBE LLC's
rights with respect to such portion of the Excluded Assets (herein called a
"Restriction"), then any provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, the transfer of title to or interest in each such portion of
the Excluded Assets (herein called the "Restriction-Asset") pursuant to this
Agreement shall not become effective unless and until such Restriction is
satisfied, waived or no longer applies. When and if such a Restriction is so
satisfied, waived or no longer applies, to the extent permitted by applicable
law and any applicable contractual provisions, the assignment of the
Restriction-Asset subject thereto shall become effective automatically as of the
Effective Time, without further action on the part of WBE LLC or either of the
Terminals LP. Terminals LP and WBE LLC agree to use their reasonable best
efforts to obtain satisfaction of any Restriction on a timely basis. The
description of any portion of the Excluded Assets as a "Restriction-Asset" shall
not be construed as an admission that any Restriction exists with respect to the
transfer of such portion of the Excluded Assets. In the event that any
Restriction-Asset exists, Terminals LP agrees to hold such Restriction-Asset in
trust for the exclusive benefit of WBE LLC and to otherwise use its reasonable
best efforts to provide WBE LLC with the benefits thereof, and Terminals LP will
enter into other agreements, or take such other action as it may deem necessary,

necessary to enable it to operate the Excluded Assets contributed to WBE LLC in
all material respects as they were operated prior to the Effective Time.

responsible for all costs, liabilities and expenses (including court costs and
reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with the satisfaction or
waiver of any Restriction pursuant to Section 9.2.
