discretion. ASX may quote the +securities on any conditions it decides.

2     We warrant the following to ASX.
*      The issue of the +securities to be quoted complies with the law and is
not for an illegal purpose.
*      There is no reason why those +securities should not be granted
+quotation.
*     An offer of the +securities for sale within 12 months after their
issue will not require disclosure under section 707(3) or section 1012C(6) of
the Corporations Act.

Note: An entity may need to obtain appropriate warranties from subscribers
for the securities in order to be able to give this warranty 

*     Section 724 or section 1016E of the Corporations Act does not apply to
any applications received by us in relation to any +securities to be quoted
and that no-one has any right to return any +securities to be quoted under
sections 737, 738 or 1016F of the Corporations Act at the time that we
request that the +securities be quoted.

*      We warrant that if confirmation is required under section 1017F of the
Corporations Act in relation to the +securities to be quoted, it has been
provided at the time that we request that the +securities be quoted.

*     If we are a trust, we warrant that no person has the right to return
the +securities to be quoted under section 1019B of the Corporations Act at
the time that we request that the +securities be quoted.

3     We will indemnify ASX to the fullest extent permitted by law in respect
of any claim, action or expense arising from or connected with any breach of
the warranties in this agreement.

4     We give ASX the information and documents required by this form. If any
information or document not available now, will give it to ASX before
+quotation of the +securities begins. We acknowledge that ASX is relying on
the information and documents. We warrant that they are (will be) true and
complete.
