Redemption of principal and interest from the securitiespays all remaining debt service, so the promissory note technically remainsin place but is repaid from the proceeds of the securities purchased. Thesecurities are typically purchased with a portion of the proceeds of a saleor refinance, so the defeasance transaction is usually coordinated with arelated real estate transaction. Nearly all fixed-rate commercial conduitloans originated since 1998 require a borrower to defease in order to sellor refinance.
