(c) At the election of the purchasing Member, the purchase and sale of all or a portion of an Equity Interest will be structured to avoid, if possible, a termination of the Company for Federal tax purposes and/or under the Act, providing that such structure does not adversely impact the selling Member or the contemplated transfer. (d) At the request of the Ceppeto Members, any purchase and sale or other transfer of all or any portion of the Ceppeto Members' Entire Interest to the Managing Member in exchange for OP Units (or a combination of cash and OP Units) will, to the extent reasonably practicable, be structured in consideration of the tax consequences of such transfer to the Ceppeto Members, providing that such structure (i) does not adversely impact the Managing Member or its Affiliates, the Property or the contemplated transfer (all as determined by the Managing Member) and (ii) does not cause the Managing Member or its Affiliates, the Property or the contemplated transfer to incur any additional cost or other liability which is not paid in full by the Ceppeto Members on the date of such sale or other transfer. (e) In connection with the sale or other transfer of the Entire BP Interest to the Ceppeto Members or their designee, the BP Member shall, at the Ceppeto Member's sole cost and expense, deliver originals or certified copies of all books and records and other material relating to the Property, and otherwise cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Ceppeto Members in connection with the transition of management of the Property to the Ceppeto Members or their designee.
