At Closing under this Agreement, Seller shall have Purchaser place into escrow with a title insurance company selected by Seller, as escrow agent, all or any part of the proceeds from the sale of its Property for the purpose of conducting a tax-free exchange of real property. In such event, Seller shall identify an Exchange Parcel within forty-five (45) days after the closing of this transaction, and Seller shall close the purchase of the Exchange Parcel within the time periods provided in '1031 substantially in accordance with the terms and conditions of this paragraph, and applicable IRS regulations under '1031, which provide that title to the Exchange Property may be directly deeded to Seller.
