Item 5. Other Events.

On May 23, 2002, Internap Network Services Corporation entered into an agreement to restructure its equipment lease obligations (the "Restructuring Agreement"). Under the Restructuring Agreement, Internap made a one time payment of approximately $12 million, the proceeds of which were applied to reduce Internap's capital lease obligations by paying off certain lease schedules and buying the equipment subject to such schedules. In exchange for the payment, Internap's payment obligations under the equipment lease schedules were extended for 24 months. Payments are to resume in March 2004 and the remaining portion of the restructured capital lease obligations will be paid down from March 2004 through February 2007. A copy of Internap's press release dated May 29, 2002, announcing consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Restructuring Agreement, as well as certain related matters, is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
