qualify as real estate assets for REIT purposes, 100% of that Trust REMICs regular and residual
interests (including Residual Securities) will be treated as real estate assets for REIT purposes,
and all of the income derived from such interests will be treated as Qualifying REIT Interest.
The REMIC Regulations provide that payments of principal and interest on the qualified
mortgages held by a Trust REMIC that are reinvested pending distribution to the Holders of the
related REMICs Securities constitute real estate assets for REIT purposes. Multiple Trust
REMICs that are part of a tiered structure (as in the case of a Double REMIC Series) will be
treated as one REMIC for purposes of determining the percentage of the assets of each Trust
REMIC that constitutes real estate assets. It is expected that at least 95% of the assets of a Trust
REMIC will be real estate assets throughout the Trust REMICs life. The amount treated as a
real estate asset in the case of a Residual Security apparently is limited to the REITs adjusted
basis in the Security.
Partnerships. Partners in a partnership that acquires a Residual Security generally must
take into account their allocable share of any income, including excess inclusion income, that is
produced by the Residual Security. The partnership itself is not subject to tax on income from
the Residual Security other than any excess inclusion income that is allocable to partnership
interests owned by Disqualified Organizations.
Foreign Residual Holders. Residual Securities may not be transferred to a Non-U.S.
Person.
Banks and certain other financial institutions. Residual Securities will be treated as
qualifying real property loans and loans secured by interests in real property for DB&Ls in the
same proportion that the assets of the Trust REMIC would be so treated. However, if 95% or
more of the assets of a given Trust REMIC are qualifying assets for DB&Ls, 100% of that Trust
REMICs regular and residual interests (including Residual Securities) would be treated as
qualifying assets. In addition, the REMIC Regulations provide that payments of principal and
interest on the qualified mortgages held by a Trust REMIC that are reinvested pending their
distribution to the Holders of the Securities will be treated as qualifying real property loans for
DB&Ls. Moreover, multiple Trust REMICs that are part of a tiered structure will be treated as
one REMIC for purposes of determining the percentage of the assets of each Trust REMIC that
constitute qualifying assets for DB&L purposes. It is expected that at least 95% of the assets of
any Trust REMIC will be qualifying assets for DB&Ls throughout the Trust REMICs life. The
amount of a Residual Security treated as a qualifying asset for DB&Ls, however, cannot exceed
the Holders adjusted basis in that Residual Security.
Generally, gain or loss arising from the sale or exchange of Residual Securities held by
certain financial institutions will give rise to ordinary income or loss, regardless of the length of
the holding period for the Residual Securities. Those financial institutions include banks, mutual
savings banks, cooperative banks, domestic building and loan institutions, savings and loan
institutions, and similar institutions.
Disposition of Residual Securities
A Residual Holder will recognize gain or loss on the disposition of his Residual Security
equal to the difference between the amount of proceeds (or the fair market value of any property)
