FIRPTA

I am currently in negotiations on a real estate transaction where the seller holds the property in an offshore Cayman Islands Corporation. Problem is that the feds want 10% at closing held by escrow. Unfortunately this is a deal buster as I cannot cover those costs. Question is can the seller register his foreign corporation in the US and therfore be exempt from FIRPTA tax withholding?
