Sentence 1: Barry's friends and local business leaders have been trying for months to find a way to let him exit with honor--to give him a gracious payoff in exchange for his decision to step down. Sentence 2: Barry has stepped down would be incorrect because they're still trying to find a way to do it with his honor intact.
