TRAC stands for Terminal Rental Adjustment Clause. These types of transactions are also referred to as open-end leases because the ultimate obligation of the Lessee is not determined until the end of the lease term. A TRAC lease is a lease of motor vehicles where the Lessee is obligated to make up any shortfall, or receive any excess proceeds, upon a disposition of the equipment at the end of the lease term. At the outset of the transaction, the Lessor and Lessee agree on what is commonly referred to as the Residual Value. This amount is generally a prediction of the fair market value of the motor vehicles at the end of the term.

A Split TRAC Lease follows the same basic principles as the TRAC Lease except that the Lessee’s potential lease-end exposure is limited to a portion of the Residual Value. The Lessee’s end of term payment amount is sometimes referred to as the Lessee’s Guaranteed Residual Amount. A properly structured Split TRAC Lease will be treated as a true lease for GAAP and Federal Tax purposes.

A FMV lease offers a low monthly payment, is the most flexible lease structure, and may allow you some tax advantages. Technically, you don’t own the equipment (think of it like renting over a fixed period of time). The equipment may not be considered an asset on your balance sheet. Depending on the situation, up to 100% of the finance expense may be tax deductible. At the end of the lease term, you may purchase the equipment, return the equipment to the finance company, or continue to pay for use of the equipment according to the terms of the original agreement.

Benefits:

• Little or no upfront cost
• Lower monthly payments than $1 out purchase option leases
• 100% financing may be available
• Can return the equipment at the end of lease without further obligation
• May have significant tax and account benefits
