The Buyer represents that (i) such Buyer was contacted regarding the sale of the Units by the Placement Agent, PowerOne or the Company (or an authorized agent or representative thereof), and (ii) no Shares were offered or sold to it by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising as such terms are used in Regulation D of the Securities Act. Other than to other persons party to this Agreement, such Buyer has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosure made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this Agreement). Such Buyer represents that it is making this investment based on the results of its own due diligence investigation of the Company and Walker Digital Sub, and has not relied on any information or advice furnished by or on behalf of the Placement Agent or PowerOne in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Such Buyer acknowledges that neither the Placement Agent nor PowerOne has made, and neither will make, any representations and warranties with respect to the Company, Walker Digital Sub, the Merger or the transactions contemplated hereby, and such Buyer will not rely on any statements made by the Placement Agent or PowerOne, orally or in writing, to the contrary.

In addition, each Buyer that is a Canadian resident agrees as follows:
