GOLQ represents and warrants that true and complete copies of the SEC Documents are available on the SEC’s website (xxx.xxx.xxx) at no charge to Nest Egg, and Nest Egg acknowledges that it may retrieve all SEC Documents from such website and Nest Egg’s access to such SEC Documents through such website shall constitute delivery of the SEC Documents to Nest Egg; provided, however, that if Nest Egg is unable to obtain any of such SEC Documents from such website at no charge, as result of such website not being available or any other reason beyond Nest Egg’s control, then upon request from Nest Egg, GOLQ shall deliver to Nest Egg true and complete copies of such SEC Documents. As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. None of the statements made in any such SEC Documents is, or has been, required to be amended or updated under applicable law (except for such statements as have been amended or updated in subsequent filings prior the date hereof, which amendments or updates are also part of the SEC Documents).

To the knowledge of GOLQ and its officers, no other information provided by or on behalf of GOLQ to Nest Egg which is not included in the SEC Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstance under which they are or were made, not misleading.

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. An evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of GOLQ’s management of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2021. Based on that evaluation, GOLQ’s management concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.
