or market discount income on the Trust REMICs assets (including temporary cash flow
investments) and premium amortization on the Trust REMICs Regular Interests less its
deductions, including deductions for interest and OID expense on the Regular Interests, premium
amortization and servicing fees on the Trust REMICs assets, and the administration expenses of
the Trust REMIC and the Regular Interests. However, the Trust REMIC may not take into
account any items allocable to a prohibited transaction. See Limitations on Offset or
Exemption of REMIC IncomeREMIC-Level Taxes. The deduction of Trust REMIC
expenses by Residual Holders who are individuals is subject to certain limitations as described
below in Special Considerations for Certain Types of Investors-Individuals and Pass-Through
Entities. Residual Holders should be aware that there are a number of ambiguities in the
determination of interest, OID and premium on the Regular Securities and that some of these
ambiguities may be resolved in a way that results in an acceleration of the income taxable to
Residual Holders. See Tax Treatment of Regular Securities above.
The amount of the Trust REMICs net loss with respect to a calendar quarter that may be
deducted by a Residual Holder is limited to such Holders adjusted basis in the Residual Security
as of the end of that quarter (or time of disposition of the Residual Security, if earlier),
determined without taking into account the net loss for that quarter. A Residual Holders basis in
its Residual Security initially is equal to the price paid for such Security. Such basis is increased
by the amount of income recognized with respect to the Residual Security and decreased (but not
below zero) by the amount of distributions made and the amount of net losses recognized with
respect to that Security. The amount of the REMICs net loss allocable to a Residual Holder that
is disallowed under the basis limitation may be carried forward indefinitely, but may be used
only to offset income with respect to the related Residual Security. The ability of Residual
Holders to deduct net losses with respect to a Residual Security may be subject to additional
limitations under the Code, as to which Holders should consult their tax advisors. A distribution
with respect to a Residual Security is treated as a non-taxable return of capital up to the amount
of the Residual Holders adjusted basis in his Residual Security. If a distribution exceeds the
adjusted basis of the Residual Security, the excess is treated as gain from the sale of such
Residual Security.
Although the law is unclear in certain respects, a Residual Holder effectively should be
able to recover some or all of the basis in its Residual Security as the Trust REMIC recovers the
basis of its assets through either the amortization of premium on such assets or the allocation of
basis to principal payments received on such assets. The Trust REMICs initial aggregate basis
in its assets will equal the sum of the issue prices of all related Residual Securities and Regular
Interests. In general, the issue price of a Regular Security of a particular Class is the initial price
at which a substantial amount of the Securities of such Class is offered to the public. In the case
of a Regular Interest of a Class not offered to the public in substantial amounts, the issue price is
either the price paid by the first purchaser of such Interest or the fair market value of the property
received in exchange for such Interest, as appropriate. The Trust REMICs aggregate basis will
be allocated among its assets in proportion to their respective fair market values.
The mortgage loans underlying the Trust Assets of certain Trust REMICs may have bases
that exceed their principal amounts. Except as indicated in Treatment by the Trust REMIC of
Original Issue Discount, Market Discount, and Amortizable Premium, the premium on such
loans will be amortizable under the constant yield method and the same prepayment assumptions
