Value in MDIW

Definition

Business Rule to Identify

Finance Lease - $1Out Mandatory Purchase

EQ

FinLse-Put

Lease which requires the Lessee to purchase the assets at the end of the term.

Any of the following:

  • Title to assets automatically transfers to Lessee at the end of term

  • Buyout Price = $1

  • Language similar to “Lessee is required to purchase assets”

Finance Lease – Fixed Purchase Option

EQ

FinLse-FixPO

Lease granting Lessee the option to purchase the assets at a fixed amount.

Any of the following:

  • Option to Buy at a price of $$$

First Amendment Lease

EQ

First Amend

A lease which contains a first amendment clause. Used for Lessees who may opt to purchase equipment early. Typically includes a penalty for non-purchase or requires the Lessee to renew for a fixed number of months.

Full-Service Lease

RE

Full-Service

A lease where the Base Rent includes a baseline cost for CAMS and Other Rent charges, but lease allows landlord to pass through incremental charges or credits to reflect the actual cost of CAMS and Other Rent expenses.

Real Estate Lease where:

  • CAMS charges listed

  • CAMS benchmark cost identified

  • Contains CAMS Billing language

  • Contains CAMS expense Reconciliation language

Leveraged Lease Debt

EQ

Lev-Debt

lease agreement that is partially financed by the Lessor through a third-party financial institution. In a leveraged lease, the lending company holds the title to the leased asset, while the lessor creates the agreement with the Lessee and collects the payment. The payments are then passed on to the lender.

Leveraged Lease Equity

EQ

Lev-Equity

Loan / Note & Security Agreement

EQ

Loan/NSA

This is not a lease but a financed purchase either as a loan or promissory note.

Modified Gross Lease

RE

Gross

A lease where the Base Rent includes all costs including CAMS and Other Rent; however, utilities may be separately identified as a cost where the landlord is allowed to pass through incremental charges or credits to reflect the actual Utility costs.

Real Estate lease where:

  • Base Rent language exists

  • Only Utility Cost Benchmark is identified

  • Excess Utility cost pass through language

  • Utility uses reconciliation language

  • This is the default Lease Type for Real Estate

Municipal Lease Purchase

EQ

Municipal

A municipal or tax-exempt lease agreement allows a political subdivision to use annual revenues to make payments for any type of essential use equipment or facilities. While municipal leases are documented as a lease, they have characteristics similar to a loan. The Lessee owns the equipment at the end of the lease, and the lease can be paid off early. These financing agreements are structured as a lease to accommodate the fiscal funding restrictions of political subdivisions. In most cases, the obligation terminates if the Lessee fails to appropriate funds to make the renewal year's lease payments. Because of this provision, neither the lease nor the lease payments are considered debt (in most states).

Other Financial Product

EQ

Other

Split-TRAC Lease

EQ

Split-TRAC

A modified TRAC lease where the Lessor assumes part of the estimated residual value risk which may allow the Lessee to classify the transaction as an operating lease.

  • Includes a possible return fee such that the Lessee has limited responsibility for the fee

Synthetic Lease

EQ

Synthetic

A disguised loan. Treated as a loan for tax purposes and an operating lease (off-balance sheet financing) for accounting purposes. Relies on Lessee to exercise FMV purchase option or pay substantial penalty for non-renewal.

TRAC Lease

EQ

TRAC

Terminal Rental Adjustment Clause. A Lessee guaranteed residual value for vehicle leases (automobiles – trucks or trailers), the inclusion of which will not in and of itself disqualify the tax lease status of a tax-oriented vehicle lease.

  • Includes a possible return fee that is born solely by the Lessee

Triple-Net Lease

RE

Triple-Net

A lease where the Base Rent Rate excludes the full cost of CAMS and Other Rent expenses on a monthly basis.

Real Estate Lease where:

  • Base Rent Rate excludes the full cost of CAMS and Other Rent expenses on a monthly basis

  • CAMS and Other Rent pass through language

True/Operating Lease (FMV)

EQ

  • Contains language referencing Lessee ability to buyout the asset at a date.

  • This is default lease type for non-Real Estate leases
