Heading: webster # 3's payment of rent

Text: The Court states in the opinion that on July 1, 1981, Webster # 3 and Hudson entered into their final agreement, under which Webster # 3 agreed to pay rent on any preleased space not actually occupied by lessees or sublessees. This is incorrect. The last agreement was on June 24, 1981, the import of which was that Webster # 3 agreed to guarantee the rent payments of nonoccupying lessees. Webster # 3 also agreed to manage the office building and collect the rent from the lessees. In Webster # 3's accounting for the month of July, 1981, it shows rent having been paid by Cobbs and Kennevick in the amount of $4,033.72. (Exh. No. 19) Hudson never at any time agreed to look solely to the credit of Webster # 3, but instead relied on the credit of the primary obligors under the leases. The jury so found. It is important to note that Kathy Bazeghi, an attorney, was the principal draftsman of the June 24, 1981, implementing agreement. As Hudson testified, he was substantially distracted during the period of his illness and felt it was imperative to trust the people with whom he was dealing.
