Business Terms of Lease Cancellation Agreement
Verilink agrees to pay Industrial Properties of the South rent on the second
floor for March, April, and May of 2001 in order to receive a cancellation of
rent due for the remaining ten (10) months of the lease. At $13,968.39 per
month, this is a savings of $139,683.90 to Verilink.
This consideration is necessary to recoup the discounted rate Verilink has had
for the past two (2) years of $6.40 rather than $6.90 for the longer term lease.
