The Company’s obligations under the Prior Loan Agreement were satisfied in full and the Prior Loan Agreement was terminated in connection with the entrance into the Loan Agreement.

The Company has also agreed to deliver to the Lender within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year a balance sheet, a statement of income and expense for the year, and a statement of change in financial position with an unqualified audit level report prepared by an independent public accountant.
In connection with the Loan Agreement, the Company has also entered into that certain Promissory Note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $3 million. The Company shall make monthly payments of accrued interest on the principal amount of the Note, and payment of the Note is on demand of the Lender.
