After a short discussion, Mr. Williams: I'd like to make a substitute motion that
we not waive anything.
Motion dies for lack of a second.

Motion adopted unanimously.
3. Motion to approve release of tax lien on all real property of Richmond
Recycling, Inc. in order to facilitate sale of property.
Mr. Wall: We are just removing the lien; we will still get paid for the taxes. This
will put the property back into a productive use and allow it to be sold, but there is not
enough equity in the property to satisfy the claims against it. We'll get paid out of the
bankruptcy estate.

Mr. Williams: I so move.
Mr. Chairman: Second.
Motion adopted with Mr. Hankerson voting No.
