 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>NOL Preservation Agreement.</I> On July&nbsp;31, 2015, pursuant to the Merger Agreement,
Golden entered into the NOL Preservation Agreement (the &#147;NOL Preservation Agreement&#148;) with the Sartini Stockholder and the Shareholders.&nbsp;The NOL Preservation Agreement is intended to help minimize the risk that there will be an
&#147;ownership change&#148; within the meaning of Section&nbsp;382 of the Code that would limit the combined company&#146;s ability utilize its NOLs to offset future taxable income. Under the NOL Preservation Agreement, subject to certain
exceptions, for a period of up to three years after closing of the Merger, among other matters, the Sartini Stockholder will be prohibited from acquiring additional shares of Golden common stock and the Shareholders will be prohibited from acquiring
additional shares of Golden common stock or transferring or encumbering their shares of Golden common stock if it would result in such an &#147;ownership change.&#148; In addition, each of the Shareholders has agreed not to margin in excess of 25%
of the total value of the shares held by such shareholder during the term of the NOL Preservation Agreement. Under the NOL Preservation Agreement, Mr.&nbsp;Berman has also agreed that, in the event of a breach of the NOL Preservation Agreement by
any Shareholder, he will resign as a director of Golden, he will not be permitted to nominate himself as a candidate for election to the Golden Board of Directors under the Shareholders&#146; Agreement, and such breach will constitute
&#147;Cause&#148; for termination under his consulting agreement with Golden. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Other than as stated above, Mr.&nbsp;Berman has not entered
into any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) with any other person with respect to the securities of Golden, including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any securities of the Golden, finder&#146;s
fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or losses or the giving or withholding of proxies. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:18pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>
