For purposes of the 15% and the 60% expenditure exceptions I i sted in the previous sentence, the amount of Investment Proceeds that is included in Adjusted Gross Proceeds is determined based only on the expected investment earnings as of the CI osi ng Date.

No Investment Property may beaoquired with Gross Proceeds for an amount (including transaction costs, except as otherwise provided in Secti on 1.148-5(e) of the Treasury Regul ati ons) i n excess of the f ai r market vat ue of such Investment Property.

(c) Arm's-length Purchasesand Sales If Investment Property is acquired pursuant to an arm's length transaction without regard to any amount paid to reduce the yi el d on the I nvestment Property, the f ai r market val ue of the I nvestment Property shad I be the amount paid for the Investment Property (without increasefor transaction costs, except as otherwise provided i n Section 1.148-5(e) of the Treasury Regulations). If I nvestment Property is sod d or otherwi se di sposed of i n an arm's I ength transacti on wi thout regard to any reducti on i n the di sposi ti on pri ce to reduce the Rebate Requi rement, the fai r market vat ue of the I nvestment Property shad I be the amount real i zed f rom the sal a or other di sposi ti on of the I nvestment Property (without reduction for transaction costs, except as otherwise provided in Section 1.148- 5(e) of the Treasury Regulations).

(h) Broker Compensation. For purposes of computing the Yield on any investment contract acquired through a broker, reasonable compensation received by such broker, whether payabl e by or on behalf of the obl i gor or obl i gee of such i nvestment contract, may be taken i nto account i n determi ni ng the cost of the i nvestment contract (as provi ded i n Section 1.148-5(e)(2)(i i i) of the Treasury Regulations). For the calendar year 2010, compensation is deemed reasonable if it does not exceed the lesser of i) $35,000 or i i) 0.2% of the amount reasonably expected, as of the date of acquisition of the investment contract, to be invested under the investment contract over its term, or $4,000 (if 0.2% of such amount reasonabl y expected to be i nested under the i nvestment contract over i is term i s I ess than $4,000).
