Full Pay-out Lease (FPL)

The Lessee pays the lease stream with an end of term $1.00 buy-out option. The purchase price is listed on the schedule. The asset cost is depreciated by the Lessee, not the Lessor. The transaction is treated as a financed purchase.

Fair Market Value (FMV)

The Lessee purchases the product for fair market value. The fair market value is typically listed as 10% of the original purchase price.¬† This type of lease is utilized when the Lessee wants to expense (not capitalize) the lease and comply with FASB 13, the “no bargain purchase price” rule for an end of term option. The asset cost is depreciated by the Lessor. The lease payments are an expense to the Lessee. The 10% purchase option gives the Lessee an excellent idea of the purchase option and provides an option of returning the asset to the Lessor.

True Lease (TL)

A true lease is when Lessee pays a lease stream and does not get any stipulated purchase option (although certainly may). PCM retains and holds a residual value to the device and also title at end of term. Lessee may convert this type Lease to a full payout or fair market value lease at any time during the Lease term or at the end of the Lease term. The Lessee may also purchase the product or simply renew the Lease at a renegotiated rate.

Leasing Agreement Choices

Master Equipment Lease

A Master Equipment Lease document describes and defines terms and conditions upon which parties agree. For example, describing passing of warranty to the Lessee, when and how payments are made, maintenance stipulations etc. The Master Equipment Lease establishes a basis for Lessor and Lessee. The Master Equipment Lease agreement does not expire except as otherwise provided therein. Unlike a Purchase Order or a Volume Purchase Agreement there is no specific time limit. The Master Equipment Lease has no monetary value, commitment, or amount. The Master Equipment Lease only sets up the “rules” if you and we subsequently agree to enter into a Lease Schedule described below, and if you and we agree to accept a purchase order or plain letter referencing the terms of the master agreement for any vendors equipment.
