received by Caledonia and any securities issuable upon conversion thereof (such
shares of the Series A Preferred and securities issuable upon conversion thereof

familiar with the phrase "acquired for investment and not with a view to

"Securities Act") and state securities laws and the special meaning given to
such term by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). By executing
this Agreement, Caledonia further represents that it does not have any contract,
undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant
participations to such person or to any third person, with respect
to any of the Securities.

(iv)
Reliance Upon Caledonia’s
Representations and Warranties. Caledonia and Caledonia’s Representatives
understand that the Securities are not, and upon issuance of any of the
Securities on conversion of shares of the Series A Preferred, at the time of
issuance may not be, registered under the Securities Act on the ground that the
sale provided for in this Agreement and the issuance of securities hereunder is
exempt from registration under the Securities Act, and that the Company's
reliance on such exemption is predicated on Caledonia’s representations and
warranties set forth herein. Caledonia and Caledonia’s Representatives realize
that the basis for the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding such
representations and warranties, Caledonia or any of Caledonia's Representatives
has in mind merely acquiring the Securities or any portion thereof for a fixed
or determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the
market does not rise. Neither Caledonia nor any of Caledonia’s Representatives
has any such intention. Furthermore, Caledonia hereby covenants to indemnify the
Company for and hold the Company harmless from all losses, costs, damages,
liabilities and expenses arising out of or in connection with any breach or
inaccuracy of any representation, warranty or covenant made by Caledonia in this
Agreement.
(v) Receipt of Information.
Caledonia and Caledonia's Representatives have received all the information they
consider necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to exchange the Caledonia
Shares into 90,000 shares of Series A Preferred and each portion thereof.
Caledonia further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and
receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the
Series A Preferred and the business, properties, prospects and financial
condition of the Company and to obtain additional information necessary to
verify the accuracy of any information furnished to it. In making the decision
to enter into this Agreement, Caledonia and Caledonia’s Representatives have
relied solely upon their review of this Agreement, the Articles of Amendment to
the Company's Articles of Incorporation designating the terms and conditions of
the Series A Preferred, and independent investigations made by such Caledonia or
Caledonia's Representatives. Caledonia further represents and affirms that none
of the following information has ever been represented, guaranteed or warranted
to it or any of its officers, members, managers or representatives, expressly or
by implication, by any person: (1) The approximate or exact length of time that
Caledonia will be required to remain a shareholder of the Company, (2) The
percentage of profit and/or amount of or type of consideration, profit or loss
to be realized, if any, as a result of its entry into this Agreement; or (3) The
possibility that the past performance or experience on the part of the Company
or any affiliate, officer, director, employee or agent of the Company, might in
any way indicate or predict the results of ownership of the Securities or the
potential success of the Company's operations.
(vi)
Accredited Investor.
Caledonia is an Accredited Investor, as such term is defined in Regulation D
promulgated under the Securities Act.

(vii)
Restricted Securities.
Caledonia and each of Caledonia’s Representatives understand that neither the
Securities nor any portion thereof may be sold, transferred or otherwise
disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption
therefrom, and that in the absence of an effective registration statement
covering the Securities (or such portion thereof) or an available exemption from
registration under the Securities Act, the Securities and each portion thereof
