Following delivery of the $308,000 payment, by the end of September 2012, Axesstel will provide WNC with instructions to deliver to Axesstel or its designee all raw material and finished goods inventory WNC is holding related to Axesstel purchase orders. Alternatively, Axesstel may direct WNC to dispose of all or any portion of such inventory, and WNC shall provide written confirmation to Axesstel that the inventory has been properly disposed.
