Leveraged Lease

A lease agreement wherein the lessor, by borrowing funds from a lending institution, finances the purchase of the asset being leased.

Investopedia Commentary

The lessor pays the lending institution back by way of the lease payments received from the lessee. Under the loan agreement, the debtor has rights to the asset and the lease payments if the lessor defaults.
