Future Interest Agreement

Note 5:  Future Interest Agreement

 

In March 2003, NPAMLP, NPAEP and PVPG, entered into an Agreement, effective as of January 1, 2003 (the “2003 Agreement”), in which NPAEP and PVPG agreed with NPAMLP to modify the terms of Wrap Mortgages held by NPAEP and PVPG. The terms of the 2003 Agreement provided that NPAEP and PVPG: (a) reduce to 4.1% per year the annual interest rate payable on any NPAEP Wrap Note or PVPG Wrap Note that bears a stated annual interest rate in excess of that amount (the reduction in the interest rate was evaluated by NPAMLP in accordance with FASB authoritative guidance, and was determined not to be a substantial modification of terms as defined therein); (b) remove certain of the properties secured by the NPAEP and PVPG Wrap Mortgages from the burden of the cross-default and cross-collateralization provisions currently contemplated by the Restructuring Agreement effective as of January 1, 1990 by and among MLPG, NPAMLP, National Property Analysts, Inc. and others; and (c) agree to release the lien of the Wrap Mortgages from the Properties upon a sale of or the agreement of a leasehold estate in any Property prior to the maturity of the applicable Wrap Note. In consideration for the above, NPAMLP modified the NPAEP Wrap Mortgages and the PVPG Wrap Mortgages to provide that (i) there is an event of default under the applicable NPAEP Wrap Mortgages or PVPG Wrap Mortgages, as the case may be, if a judgment or other lien is entered against the title or lease-holding entity thereby entitling NPAEP or PVPG, as the case may be, to avail itself of the post-default rights or remedies under the relevant security document; and (ii) for cross-default and cross-collateralization among certain partnerships comprising NPAMLP. In addition NPAMLP shall execute and deliver to NPAEP or PVPG, as the case may be, a currently recordable deed of future interest (or assignment of future leasehold interest) sufficient to convey to NPAEP or PVPG, as the case may be, all of NPAMLP’s right, title, interest and estate in and to its fee or leasehold interest in the encumbered properties effective upon the maturity on December 31, 2013 of the NPAEP Wrap Mortgages and the PVPG Wrap Mortgages unless the Wrap Mortgages have previously been paid in full.

  

The Managing General Partner believes that the execution of the 2003 Agreement had the following effects for NPAMLP as a result of the reduction in the annual interest rate on the NPAEP Wrap Notes and the PVPG Wrap Notes (i) NPAMLP realized reductions in interest that it otherwise would have been obligated to pay during the period between January 1, 2003 and September 30, 2012 and (ii) NPAMLP has been able to allocate a greater portion of its available cash flow to principal repayments. As a result of the faster repayment of principal, the Limited Partners will recognize additional taxable income (or smaller tax losses) in each year from 2003 until the maturity of the NPAEP Wrap Mortgages and the PVPG Wrap Mortgages. In addition, the anticipated date of dissolution of NPAMLP will now occur in 2013 rather than 2015. Further, because the reduced interest rate is below the Applicable Federal Rate (“AFR”) prescribed under Section 1274, Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, investors in certain Partnerships recognized non-recurring ordinary income (forgiveness of indebtedness) in 2003. The tax impact of this recognition depended upon numerous factors related to each investor’s particular tax situation, including his marginal tax rate and his suspended passive losses from prior years.

 

The Wrap Mortgages owned by NPAEP or PVPG are due and payable in substantial “balloon” amounts on December 31, 2013. Assuming no sales of Properties by NPAMLP in the interim period (October 1, 2012 through December 31, 2013) the projected balance due for all of the Wrap Mortgages at December 31, 2013 is expected to approximate $108,000. As of September 30, 2012, wraparound mortgage principal payment requirements for the remainder of 2012 are $1,894. As described above, in return for the reduction in interest rate and other consideration set forth above, including the satisfaction of the Wrap Mortgages due on December 31, 2013, NPAMLP’s Managing General Partner has agreed to deliver deeds of future interest and assignments of leasehold interest, to be recorded currently, effective December 31, 2013, to NPAEP and PVPG. NPAMLP’s Managing General Partner has determined that it is in the best interests of NPAMLP and its partners to do so. The effect of these deeds and assignments will be to facilitate a transfer of fee and leasehold ownership to the holders of the Wrap Mortgages at maturity (unless the Wrap Mortgages have been previously paid in full). Notwithstanding the foregoing, NPAEP and PVPG have agreed in the 2003 Agreement to (a) release the liens of the Wrap Mortgages and (b) deliver such deeds of future interest, assignments of leasehold interests, or other documents or instruments as are necessary to facilitate or effect such sales of the Properties prior to December 31, 2013 as the Managing General Partner shall otherwise deem desirable. The costs incurred arising from the recordation of any of the documents described in the 2003 Agreement shall be borne by NPAEP or PVPG, as the case may be. The Managing General Partner believes that the result of the forgoing actions taken pursuant to the 2003 Agreement has preserved all rights of the Limited Partners under the Restructuring Agreement, including their right to share in certain sales proceeds or cash flows prior to maturity of the Wrap Mortgages.
