The General Partner and its affiliates are entitled to reimbursement by the Partnership for the cost of goods, supplies or services obtained and used by the General Partner in connection with the administration and operation of the Partnership from third parties unaffiliated with the General Partner.

Equipment acquisition fee

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The General Partner earned an equipment acquisition fee of 4% of the purchase price of each item of equipment purchased as compensation for the negotiation of the acquisition of the equipment and lease thereof or sale under a conditional sales contract.  For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the General Partner earned acquisition fees from operating and finance leases of approximately $14,000 and $2,000, respectively.

Debt placement fee

 

 

 

 

 

 

As compensation for arranging term debt to finance our acquisition of equipment, the Partnership will pay the General Partner a fee equal to one percent of such indebtedness; provided, however, that such fee shall be reduced to the extent the Partnership incurs such fees to third parties unaffiliated with the General Partner or the lender with respect to such indebtedness. No such fee will be paid with respect to borrowings from the General Partner or its affiliates.  The amount the Partnership borrows, and therefore the amount of the fee, will depend upon interest rates at the time of a loan, and the amount of leverage the Partnership determines is appropriate at the time. Fees will increase as the amount of leverage increases, and as turnover in the portfolio increases and additional equipment is purchased using leverage.

Equipment management fee

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Partnership pays our General Partner a monthly fee equal to the lesser of (a) the fees which would be charged by an independent third party in the same geographic market for similar services and equipment or (b) the sum of (i) two percent of gross lease revenues attributable to equipment subject to full payout net leases which contain net lease provisions and (ii) five percent of the gross lease revenues attributable to equipment subject to operating leases. The General Partner, based on its experience in the equipment leasing industry and current dealings with others in the industry, will use its business judgment to determine if a given fee is competitive, reasonable and customary. The amount of the fee will depend upon the amount of equipment managed.  Reductions in market rates for similar services would also reduce the amount of this fee.

Equipment liquidation fee

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

equipment sold by the General Partner, the Partnership will pay a fee equal to the lesser of (i) 50% of the competitive equipment sale commission or (ii) three percent of the sales price of the equipment. The payment of this fee is subordinated to the receipt by the limited partners of (i) a return of their capital contributions and a 10% per annum cumulative return, compounded daily, on adjusted capital contributions and (ii) the net disposition proceeds from such sale in accordance with the partnership agreement.  The General Partner, based on its experience in the equipment leasing industry and current dealings with others in the industry, uses its business judgment to determine if a given sales commission is competitive, reasonable and customary. Such fee will be reduced to the extent any liquidation or resale fees are paid to unaffiliated parties. The amount of such fees will depend upon the sale price of equipment sold. Sale prices will vary depending upon the type, age and condition of equipment sold. The shorter the terms of the leases, the more often the Partnership may sell equipment, which will increase liquidation fees.
