Section 1031 Exchanges. Purchaser and Seller agree that, at either Purchaser’s or Seller’s sole election, this transaction may be structured as an exchange of like-kind properties under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations and proposed regulations thereunder. The parties agree that if either wishes to make such election, it must do so by written notice to the other party at least five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date. If either so elects, the other shall reasonably cooperate, provided any such exchange is consummated pursuant to an agreement that is mutually acceptable to Purchaser and Seller and which shall be executed and delivered on or before the Closing Date. The electing party shall in all events be responsible for all costs and expenses related to the Section 1031 exchange and shall fully indemnify, defend and hold the other harmless from and against any and all liability, claim, damages, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements), proceedings and causes of action of any kind or nature whatsoever arising out of, connected with or in any manner related to such 1031 exchange that would not have been incurred by the non-electing party if the transaction were a purchase for cash. In no event shall any party be required to take record title to any property other than the Property in connection with such transaction.
Section 1031 Exchanges. In order to facilitate Borrower’s transactions pursuant to Section 1031 of the Code, the Administrative Agent shall from time to time, on behalf of the Banks, accept a pledge of membership interests in a limited liability company 100% owned directly or indirectly by the Borrower as security for a specified amount of the outstanding indebtedness (the “secured indebtedness”), which limited liability company owns property which Borrower desires to sell in connection with a like-kind exchange intended to qualify for treatment under Section 1031 of the Code. Such pledge shall be substantially in the form of the pledge agreement attached hereto as Exhibit J. Administrative Agent acknowledges that the Borrower may assign said membership interests to a qualified intermediary and that, upon such assignment, the qualified intermediary will agree to accept responsibility for repayment of, and is expected to repay, the secured indebtedness as part of such exchange. Each pledge shall be released automatically (i) upon the sale of such membership interests or underlying property in the exchange (other than transfer to a qualified intermediary) and repayment of the secured indebtedness, or (ii) upon any prepayment of the Loans in an amount equal to or greater than the secured indebtedness secured by such pledge and which Borrower has designated as a prepayment of such indebtedness. The Administrative Agent agrees to accept repayment of the secured indebtedness from the proceeds of such sale. The Borrower and EQR shall remain obligated for all Obligations notwithstanding the pledge. Upon receipt from the Internal Revenue Service, the Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a copy of a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service to the Borrower with respect to a proposed Section 1031 exchange employing the proposed structure, it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not disclose the same (subject to Section 9.15) unless and until the same shall be published or otherwise made generally available by the Internal Revenue Service. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any party hereto (and any of its employees, representatives and other agents) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of this transaction.
Section 1031 Exchanges. If any Member desires to defer income recognition in connection with the sale of an asset by the Company under Code Section 1031, and the Managers so approve, but one or more other Members do not desire to do so with respect to their indirect economic interest in such asset, such other Members agree to cooperate with such Member and the Managers in restructuring the sale of such asset as a like-kind exchange under Code Section 1031 with respect to the indirect economic interest in such asset of such Member, to the extent possible, provided, however, that amount of the cash received by such other Members in connection with such restructured sale is the same as it would have been (and is received not later than it would have been received) if the sale were not restructured as a like-kind exchange.
Section 1031 Exchanges. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Affiliate Seller may transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement to a party acting as “Qualified Intermediary”, as defined in Section 1031(k)-1(g)(4) of the Federal Income Tax Regulations (the “Intermediary”), provided that: (i) notwithstanding such assignment, in any event Buyer may proceed directly against the Affiliate Seller to enforce Buyer’s rights under this Agreement, to the extent permitted under this Agreement, without the need to join the Intermediary as a party; (ii) notwithstanding any such assignment the Transferred Real Property shall be conveyed directly by the Affiliate Seller to the Real Property Purchaser as provided in this Agreement; (iii) Buyer’s performance of any of its obligations to or in favor of the Intermediary shall be treated as performance to or in favor of the Affiliate Seller; (iv) Affiliate Seller shall provide a copy of the instrument by which any such assignment to the Intermediary is made to Buyer immediately after its execution; and (v) neither Buyer nor Real Property Purchaser shall be a party to such assignment to the Intermediary. In the event either Affiliate Seller so assigns its rights or obligations under this Agreement to the Intermediary, Buyer shall or shall cause Real Property Purchaser to (a) render performance of all of Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement to the Intermediary, (b) deposit the purchase price for the applicable Transferred Real Property in accordance with the instructions of the Intermediary, and (c) allow the Affiliate Seller to proceed directly against Buyer without the need to join the Intermediary as a party to an action against Buyer in the event Buyer breaches any of its obligations under this Agreement. The purpose of an assignment permitted by the Affiliate Sellers pursuant to this Section is solely to allow the Affiliate Seller to qualify the transfer of the Transferred Real Property for the benefits of Section 1031 of the Code. Qualification for Section 1031 treatment is solely the responsibility of the Affiliate Sellers, and neither Buyer nor the Real Property Purchaser shall be responsible for such qualification.

In no event shall any party be required to take record title to any property other than the Property in connection with such transaction, nor shall the non-electing party be required to take an assignment of the purchase agreement for the replacement property. Seller shall not by any agreement or acquiescence to an exchange have its rights under this Agreement affected or diminished in any manner or be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to Purchaser that the exchange in fact complies with the Code.
