Acquisition of Assets Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the prospectus of Captec Franchise Capital Partners L.P. IV (the "Partnership") dated December 23, 1996, as supplemented to date (the "Prospectus"). On July 9, 1997, the Partnership purchased restaurant equipment to be used in the operation of an Breckenridge Brewery & Pub, located at 600 South Main, Breckenridge, Colorado (the "Breckenridge Equipment") for $791,000. The Breckenridge Equipment was acquired from, and leased back to BBI Acquisition Co., a Colorado corporation, dba Breckenridge Brewery & Pub ("BBI"). The headquarter offices of BBI are located at 471 Kalamath Street, Denver, Colorado. The purchase was made in cash from proceeds of the Partnership; however, it is anticipated that the Breckenridge Equipment will subsequently be leveraged as provided for in the Prospectus. The Partnership presently does not have a financing commitment. The Partnership and BBI entered into the Partnership's standard form of equipment lease ("BBI Lease") commencing August 1, 1997. Under the terms of the BBI Lease, BBI is responsible for all expenses related to the Breckenridge Equipment including taxes, insurance, maintenance and repair costs. The lease term is 84 months and the minimum annual rent is $163,622 payable in monthly installments of $13,605.20 on the 1st day of each month. The annual rent remains fixed for the entire BBI Lease term. All obligations under the BBI Lease are unconditionally guaranteed by Breckenridge Holding Company, a Colorado corporation. At the end of the BBI Lease term, upon at least 90 days prior irrevocable notice to the Partnership, BBI may purchase all of the Breckenridge Equipment for $1.00. The General Partners believe that the amount of insurance carried by BBI is adequate. BBI paid the first and last month's rent of $27,210 and interim rent in the amount of $10,094 to the Partnership. An affiliate of the Managing General Partner received an acquisition fee from the Partnership in an amount equal to $31,640, and expect to receive an additional fee of $7,910 from the Partnership after leveraging the Breckenridge Equipment, as provided for in the Partnership Agreement. In addition, BBI paid a commitment fee equal to $7,910 to the same affiliate as provided for in the Partnership Agreement. 2 3 Item 7.
