Lease
Note C Lease
Registrant does not operate the Property. Registrant leases the Property to Lincoln Building Associates L.L.C. (“Lessee”) pursuant to an operating lease as modified (the “Lease”), which is currently set to expire on September 30, 2033. Lessee is a New York limited liability company whose members consist of, among others, entities for the benefit of members of Peter L. Malkin’s family.
The Lease provides that Lessee is required to pay rent to Registrant as follows:
(i) annual basic rent (“Basic Rent”) equal to the sum of $24,000 plus the constant annual mortgage charges on all mortgages. In accordance with the Ninth Lease Modification Agreement dated November 5, 2009, Basic Rent was increased to cover debt service on a $100,000,000 mortgage. See Note D. Basic Rent will be increased or decreased upon the refinancing of the mortgages provided that the aggregate principal balance of all mortgages now or hereafter placed on the Property does not exceed $100,000,000 plus refinancing costs.
(ii) additional rent (“Additional Rent”) equal to, on an annual basis, the lesser of (x) Lessee’s net operating income (as defined) for the lease year ending September 30 or (y) $1,053,800 ($87,817 per month) and further additional rent (“Further Additional Rent”) equal to 50% of any remaining balance of Lessee’s net operating income for such lease year. (Lessee has no obligation to make any payment of Additional Rent or Further Additional Rent until after Lessee has recouped any cumulative operating loss accruing from and after September 30, 1977. There is currently no accumulated operating loss against which to offset payment of Additional Rent or Further Additional Rent.)
The Lease also requires an advance against Additional Rent equal to, on an annual basis, the lesser of (x) Lessee’s net operating income for the preceding lease year or (y) $1,053,800 which is recorded in revenue in monthly installments of $87,817, which, in the latter amount, will permit basic distributions to Participants at an annual rate of approximately 14.95% per annum on their remaining cash investment in Registrant; provided, however, if such advances exceed Lessee’s net operating income for any lease year, advances otherwise required during the subsequent lease year shall be reduced by an amount equal to such excess until Lessee shall have recovered, through retention of net operating income, the full amount of such excess. After the Participants have received distributions equal to a return of 14% per annum, $7,380 is paid to Supervisor from the advances against Additional Rent.
Lessee is required to make an annual payment to Registrant of Further Additional Rent, which, as explained above, is the amount representing 50% of the remaining net operating income reported by Lessee for the lease year ending September 30th after deducting the advance against Additional Rent. The Lease requires that the report be delivered by Lessee to Registrant annually within 60 days after the end of each such lease year. Since it is not practicable to estimate Further Additional Rent for the lease year ending on September 30th which would be allocable to the first nine months of the lease year until Lessee, pursuant to the Lease, renders to Registrant a report on the operation of the Property. Registrant recognizes Further Additional Rent when earned from the Lessee at the close of the lease year ending September 30th and records such amount in revenue during the three months ended September 30th.
For the lease year ended September 30, 2010, Lessee reported net operating income of $1,164,498. Lessee paid advances against Additional Rent of $1,053,800 for that lease year prior to September 30, 2010 and Further Additional Rent of $55,347 subsequent to September 30, 2010. The Further Additional Rent of $55,347 represents 50% of the excess of the Lessee’s net operating income of $1,164,498 over $1,053,800. During November 2010 Registrant did not make any additional distribution of Further Additional Rent received for the lease year ending September 30, 2010 to Participants but added to the contingency reserves of Registrant.
