Duration, best practice is to populate the field. Do not leave blank.

On the Step Payments tab, populate each field according to the actual payment structure, ensuring to indicate the correct number of payments according to the frequency indicated in the Payment Frequency column. See below for an example:

In this example, the lease has a duration of six years but includes an unusual payment structure where there is a partial quarter at the beginning of the lease and a partial quarter at the end of lease. As a result, this lease cannot be entered as straight quarterly payments. Instead, the first payment is Monthly and covers the first two months of the term. The second monthly payment is 0.00 as there isn’t a payment due. The true quarterly payments start in the third month and continue for most of the rest of the duration of the term, ending with a final payment in the last month.

Select End of Term from the Type drop-down.

Select Renewal from the next drop-down.

Populate the At Month field. Typically, this is the month after the initial term.

• For example, a 36-month lease would have a renewal at month 37.

Indicate any notice period (in days). The ‘at least’ field is required, even if populated with 0. Leaving this field blank will designate the renewal as automatic.

Provide the terms for the renewal including the renewal term in months, even if the renewal frequency is quarterly.

Since this renewal is not reasonably certain, we do not need to enter a payment amount. When the renewal is executed, the payment amount may be entered.

Once all options have been entered, click Submit.

Populate the PIW with all lease details as per the lease agreement. If the lease has step payments that are mixed frequency, please see previous examples for steps on populating the payment information for the lease.

On the EOT Options tab, enter a line for a renewal option. Timing should be EOT, Option Type is Renewal, Reasonably Certain EOT Option should be No. As with any renewal, the Effective Month should be the duration in months plus 1.

Example: For a 72-month lease, the Renewal option would be effective month is 73.

The first renewal option will cover the first two monthly payments and also the last monthly payment, while the second renewal option will cover the quarterly payments. The term is always indicated in months. We are not indicating a payment amount since this renewal isn’t reasonably certain and the amount can be indicated when executing the renewal.

Indicate any notice period (in days). The ‘at least’ field is required, even if populated with 0. Leaving this field blank will designate the renewal as automatic.

Provide the terms for the renewal including the renewal term in months.

• In this example, the first renewal period would be 1 month, so enter 1.

Enter the first payment amount.

• In this example, enter $20,000.

Since this is a reasonably certain renewal, check the box ‘These terms constitute a Clear Economic Incentive and are Reasonably Certain to be exercised.’

Enter any relevant comments for this renewal. Best practice is to stipulate which step of the entire

renewal this option represents.

• In this example: First payment of 12-month renewal.

Click Add.

Repeat steps 6-15 for the remaining steps, including any months that have 0.00 payment. For example, if month 2 of the renewal does not have a payment, you would enter 38 for the At Month and 1 for the term. The payment amount would be 0.00. Next you would enter the third step in the renewal, effective At Month 39 with 1 for the term. The payment in this example would be $30,000. Then you would enter the fourth step of the renewal At Month 40 with a term of 2 since you will have two months with 0.00 payment. Continue this pattern to account for the entire 12-month renewal term. All renewal options should be marked as Reasonably Certain.

Enter any other non-reasonably certain options available per the lease agreement, and then click Submit.
