Re: IMC Securities Inc.
Home Equity Loan Asset Backed Certificates, Series 1998-3
Registration Statement on Form S-3 No. 333-48429
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to IMC Securities Inc. in connection with the
preparation and filing of the registration statement on Form S-3 (such
registration statement, the "Registration Statement") filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"), in respect of Home Equity Loan Asset Backed Certificates, Series 1998-3
(the "Certificates"). Our advice formed the basis for the description of federal
income tax consequences appearing under the heading "Federal Income Tax
Consequences" in the prospectus supplement contained in the Registration
Statement. Such description does not purport to discuss all possible federal
income tax consequences of an investment in Certificates but with respect to
those tax consequences which are discussed, it it our opinion that the
description is accurate. In addition, assuming (i) the REMIC elections are made,
(ii) the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is fully executed, delivered and
enforceable against the parties thereto in accordance with its terms, (iii) the
transaction described in the prospectus supplement is completed on substantially
the terms and conditions set forth therein, and (iv) continuing compliance with
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, it is our opinion that, for federal income
tax purposes: the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC will each be treated
as a REMIC; the Class A Certificates will be treated as "regular interests" in
the Upper- Tier REMIC; the Class R Certificate will be the sole "residual
interests" in the Upper-Tier REMIC; the Lower-Tier A-1 through A-8 Interests
will each be treated as "regular interests" in the Lower- Tier REMIC; and, the
Lower-Tier REMIC Residual Class will be the sole "residual interest" in the
Lower-Tier REMIC.
We hereby consent to the filing of this letter as Exhibit 8.1 to the
Registration Statement and to the reference to this firm in the Registration
Statement and related prospectus supplement under the heading "Federal Income
Tax Consequences."
Very truly yours,
/s/ Arter & Hadden LLP
Arter & Hadden LLP
Exhibit 23.1
