The ESA was then subsequently amended on April 1, 2011 with its latest amendment on December 27, 2019 to reflect the current use of personnel, office space, professional services and additional general office expenses and to provide that HBH prepay up to an additional $400,000 under the ESA to cover the Company’s pre-offering financing needs.

Upon successful completion of the contemplated offering, the Company will refund a majority of the amount HBH has prepaid under the ESA and the full amount to the extent it has available funds. As of December 28, 2019, HBH had repaid the amount owing as of September 30, 2019 and prepaid an additional amount of $310,329 under the ESA.
