Proxy, pursuant to which NTR granted an irrevocable proxy to Dr.&nbsp;Smith to vote all of its Common Shares until May&nbsp;25, 2014 unless earlier terminated as a result of (i)&nbsp;NTR&#146;s full exercise of its option to purchase Common Shares
set forth in the Option Contract (as defined below) or (ii)&nbsp;Dr.&nbsp;Smith&#146;s death or the appointment of a legal guardian for Dr.&nbsp;Smith due to incapacity by reason of physical or mental condition, and (b)&nbsp;the Lock-Up Agreement,
pursuant to which NTR agreed, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to sell or transfer the Common Shares until May&nbsp;25, 2011. As a result, NTR was generally unable to vote its Common Shares until it fully exercised the Option Contract as
described below. These arrangements were consistent with NTR&#146;s initial purpose to hold all of its Common Shares as an investment. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In
connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Closing Agreement, NTR entered into an Option Contract, dated as of May&nbsp;25, 2010 (the &#147;Option Contract&#148;), by and between NTR and Dr.&nbsp;Smith. Pursuant to the
Option Contract, NTR obtained an option from Dr.&nbsp;Smith to purchase 1,000,000 Common Shares owned by Dr.&nbsp;Smith exercisable until May&nbsp;25, 2014. During the first two years of the Option Contract, the exercise price was $6.00 per share
and the release of Dr.&nbsp;Smith&#146;s guaranty of the Issuer&#146;s $1,500,000 line of credit with Texas Capital Bank, N.A. During the third and fourth years after the execution of the Option Contract, the exercise price would have been $10.00
per share and the release of Dr.&nbsp;Smith&#146;s guaranty. On June&nbsp;10, 2011, Dr.&nbsp;Smith and NTR entered into an option exercise agreement (the &#147;Exercise Agreement&#148;), which amended the term of the Option Contract to allow NTR to
exercise in increments of 100,000 shares during the period from June&nbsp;10, 2011 to July&nbsp;15, 2011 (the &#147;Modified Exercise Period&#148;). In connection with entering into the Exercise Agreement, the parties entered into an escrow
agreement (the &#147;Escrow Agreement&#148;) with K &amp; L Gates LLP, as escrow agent, pursuant to which Dr.&nbsp;Smith deposited the option shares and NTR deposited funds necessary to satisfy the exercise price with respect to any exercised

purchase the remaining 600,000 Common Shares under the Option Contract. Following the release of Dr.&nbsp;Smith&#146;s guaranty of the Issuer&#146;s line of credit, the NTR Irrevocable Proxy terminated, and pursuant to the terms of the Agreement to
Execute Smith Irrevocable Proxy, Dr.&nbsp;Smith delivered to NTR the Smith Irrevocable Proxy. The Smith Irrevocable Proxy allowed NTR to vote Dr.&nbsp;Smith&#146;s Common Shares with respect to any matter regarding the Issuer on which Dr.&nbsp;Smith
was entitled to vote. As a result of the exercise of the Option Contract, third-party proxies granting Dr.&nbsp;Smith voting power over 556,976 Common Shares terminated. The Smith Irrevocable Proxy was effective until May&nbsp;25, 2014. </P>

to NTR of 147,000 Common Shares owned by Vierling. On October&nbsp;30, 2012, NTR and Vierling entered into an agreement (the &#147;Extension Agreement&#148;) to extend the Termination Date to March&nbsp;31, 2012; provided, however that, if Vierling
exercises his rights under the Stock Agreement and such exercise would result in NTR being subject to short-swing profit liability, NTR will have the ability to defer such exercise and extend the exercise period for six months (but not beyond
March&nbsp;31, 2014). On March&nbsp;31, 2013, NTR and Vierling entered into an agreement (the &#147;Second Amendment to Stock Agreement&#148;) to extend the Termination Date to August&nbsp;1, 2013. </P>

consideration for the merger, the membership units of Southern Bullion were converted into the right to receive an aggregate of 600,000 Common Shares of the Issuer. The Common Shares were distributed to the members of Southern Bullion pro rata in
accordance with their respective percentage ownership. NTR&#146;s wholly owned subsidiary owned 51.0% of Southern Bullion and, as a result, NTR received a right to receive 306,000 Common Shares of the Issuer. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement,
