These amendments make sense from the standpoint of an entity looking at ERHE and wanting to be sure about the companies rights and obligations. Look at what was added:
Exhibit 10.9 Employment Agreement with James Ledbetter
Exhibit 10.10 May 21, 2001 Memorandum of Agreement made b/w DRSTP and ERHC
Exhibit 10.11 March 15, 2003 Memorandum of Agreement made b/w DRSTP and ERHC
Exhibit 10.12 April 2, 2003 Option Agreement b/w DRSTP and ERHC
Exhibit 10.13 Administrative Agreement b/w Nigeria/DRSTP and ERHC
Exhibit 10.14 Block 2 Participation Agreement March 2, 2006 b/w ERHC, Addax and Sinopec
Exhibit 10.15 Block 2 Participation Agreement August 11, 2004 b/w ERHC and Pioneer
Exhibit 10.16 Block 3 Participation Agreement February 16, 2006 b/w ERHC and Addax
Exhibit 10.17 Block 4 Participation Agreement November 17, 2005 b/w ERHC and Addax
Exhibit 10.18 Block 4 2nd Amendment to Participation Agreement March 14, 2006
Exhibit 10.19 Block 4 3rd Amendment to Participation Agreement July 14, 2006
The SEC isn't the one demanding these things. The SEC wouldn't know what to ask for. But an entity doing initial DD into the possible takeover of ERHC would need to see these things, and they would know enough to ask for them if they were already a JDZ participant aware of ERHC's history.
