(iv) Authorization. The Company has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, and this Agreement, when executed and delivered, will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company. The individual signing this Agreement on behalf of the Company is duly authorized to execute this Agreement for and on behalf of the Company.

(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.

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.
