Goldfarb expects Equity to continue to push for control of Archstone, rather than settling for the breakup fee, but said Lehman is strongly committed to owning all of Archstone and would likely exercise its right of first refusal. If Equity was able to gain control of the 26.5 percent, the company could eventually carve out some assets or take over the entire company, although the chance of that was remote, wrote Goldfarb.
