856(c)(4)(A) of the Code; and interest on such Securities will be considered interest on
obligations secured by mortgages on real property within the meaning of section 856(c)(3)(B),
all in the same proportion that the related Trust REMICs assets would so qualify. If 95 percent
or more of the assets of a given Trust REMIC constitute qualifying assets for DB&Ls and REITs,
the related Securities and the income thereon will be treated entirely as qualifying assets and
income for DB&Ls and REITs. In the case of a Trust that issues a Double REMIC Series, the
Trust REMICs related to such Double REMIC Series will be treated as a single REMIC for
purposes of determining the extent to which the related Securities and the income thereon will be
treated as such assets and income. Regular and Residual Securities held by a financial institution
to which section 585 of the Code applies will be treated as evidences of indebtedness for
purposes of section 582(c)(1) of the Code. Regular Securities also will be qualified mortgages
within the meaning of section 860G(a)(3) of the Code with respect to other REMICs.
Tax Treatment of Regular Securities
General
Except as described below for Regular Securities issued with OID or acquired with
market discount or premium, interest paid or accrued on a Regular Security will be treated as
ordinary income to the Holder and a principal payment on such Security will be treated as a
return of capital to the extent that the Holders basis in the Security is allocable to that payment.
Although the treatment of Payment Penalties is not certain, it is likely that Prepayment Penalties
distributed in respect of a Regular Security will be treated as ordinary income, or interest income,
for the period in which it is paid. Holders of Regular Securities must report income from such
Securities under an accrual method of accounting, even if they otherwise would have used the
cash receipts and disbursements method. The Tax Administrator will report annually to the
Service and to Holders of record with respect to interest paid or accrued and OID, if any, accrued
on the Securities.
Single Class REMICs
In the case of certain Trust REMICs that are considered to be single-class REMICs
under temporary Treasury regulations, Holders of Regular Securities who are individuals, trusts,
estates, or pass-through entities in which such persons hold interests may be required to
recognize certain amounts of income in addition to interest and discount income. A single-class
REMIC, in general, is a REMIC that (i) would be classified as an investment trust in the absence
of a REMIC election or (ii) is substantially similar to an investment trust and was structured with
the principal purpose of avoiding the allocation of allocable investment expenses (i.e.,
expenses normally allowable under section 212 of the Code, which may include servicing and
administrative fees and the guarantee fee with respect to the Trust Assets) to Holders of Regular
Securities. Under the temporary Treasury regulations, each Holder of a regular or residual
interest in a single-class REMIC is allocated (i) a share of the REMICs allocable investment
expenses and (ii) a corresponding amount of additional income. Section 67 of the Code permits
an individual, trust or estate to deduct miscellaneous itemized expenses (including section 212
expenses) only to the extent that such expenses, in the aggregate, exceed 2% of its adjusted gross
income. Consequently, an individual, trust or estate that holds a regular interest in a single-class
