EXHIBIT 4.1
FIRST AMENDMENT TO
THE AMENDED AND RESTATED LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT OF
CAPTEC FRANCHISE CAPITAL PARTNERS L.P. III,
A DELAWARE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
This First Amendment (the "Amendment") to the limited partnership agreement
of Captec Franchise Capital Partners L.P. III, a Delaware limited partnership,
(the "Partnership") is made as of the 1st day of January, 1998 by and between
Captec Net Lease Realty, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as the General Partner
(the "General Partner") and those Limited Partners identified in the books and
records of the Partnership as holding all the limited partnership interests in
the Partnership (individually referred to herein as a "Limited Partner" and
collectively referred to herein as the "Limited Partners".
WHEREAS, the Partnership has been and will continue to be the beneficiary
of certain services provided by Captec Net Lease Realty Advisors, Inc. (the
"Advisor") with respect to the Partnership's acquisition and financing of
Properties and Equipment, as defined in the limited partnership agreement;
WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend the limited partnership agreement to
provide that the Partnership shall pay an Acquisition Fee directly to the
Advisor as compensation for these services and to reduce on a dollar-for-dollar
basis fees payable to the General Partner; and
WHEREAS, the General Partner has determined that this amendment will not
increase the cost of such services to the Partnership or diminish or jeopardize
the rights of the Partnership to obtain such services, and, thus the General
Partner is permitted to amend the limited partnership agreement without the
consent or action of the Limited Partners.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Section 9.4 of the Partnership Agreement relating to Acquisition Fees and
Expenses shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
9.4 Acquisition Fees and Expenses.
(a) As compensation for acquisition and financing services to be
rendered directly to the Partnership by Captec Net Lease Realty Advisors, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation that is affiliated with the General Partner through
overlapping ownership and common corporate officers, (the "Advisor"), the
Partnership shall pay directly to the Advisor, Acquisition Fees equal to the
lesser of (1) 2.0% of Gross Proceeds plus an additional .0624% ("Debt Fee") for
each 1% of indebtedness (calculated as the aggregate amount of Partnership
indebtedness secured by Partnership Assets as a percentage of the aggregate
Purchase Prices of such Assets) (2) 3.0% of the aggregate Purchase Prices of
Properties and/or Equipment acquired by the Partnership, or (3) compensation
customarily charged in arms-length transactions by others rendering similar
services as an on-going activity in the same geographic location for property
or equipment comparable to the Property or Equipment to be purchased by the
Partnership. The Advisor shall pay all Acquisition Expenses from amounts
received as Acquisition Fees.
(b) The General Partner shall receive Acquisition and Financing
Supervision Fees equal to the lesser of (1) 2.0% of Gross Proceeds, but in no
event shall the Acquisition and Financing Supervision Fees exceed 2.0% of the
aggregate Purchase Prices of Properties and/or Equipment acquired by the
Partnership; or (2) compensation customarily charged in arms-length transactions
by others rendering similar services as an on-going activity in the same
geographic location for property or equipment comparable to the Property or
Equipment to be purchased by the Partnership.
