The MS Agreement has a 36-month term with two consecutive 12-month unilateral options exercisable in the sole discretion of Trava. to the provisions of the MS Agreement, Trava shall collect all revenue generated by the Pueblo Farm operations. Further, Trava is to satisfy all of our Pueblo Farm-related past due expenses and, subject to certain limitations, to pay all current and future operational expenses of the Pueblo Farm operations. Finally, commencing October 2017, Trava is obligated to make the monthly mortgage payments on the Pueblo Farm, although we remain responsible for any and all “balloon payments” due under the mortgage. On a cumulative calendar monthly cash-on-cash basis, Trava is obligated to tender to us or, at our option, to either or both of our subsidiaries, an amount equivalent to 51% of the net cash for each such calendar month. Such monthly payments are on the 10th calendar day following the end of a calendar month for which such tender is required.

On June 20, 2017, we (and EWSD) have settled our dispute with Whole Hemp Company LLC (“Whole Hemp”). The dispute was initiated by Whole Hemp, which, on or about June 1, 2016, filed a lawsuit against EWSD (Pueblo County District Court, Case No. 2016CV30462). The lawsuit was dismissed by stipulation of the parties. Thereafter, on or about July 19, 2016, EWSD initiated an arbitration before JAMS (Case ID: 18657). Effective June 20, 2017, to a mediation, the parties entered into a Confidential Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement (the “Release Agreement”), to which we and Whole Hemp dismissed with prejudice all of our respective claims or counterclaims against each other, as asserted in the Arbitration, and mutually released each other from all claims.
