   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.

-- 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.

 Subtract the number of fully 
  paid ordinary securities cancelled 
  during that 12 month period                                                                       0

  Note: number must be same 
  as shown in Step 2                                                               138,864,943

  as shown in Step 1 of Part 
  1                                                                              925,766,290

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 Insert number of equity securities 
  issued or agreed to be issued 
  in that 12 month period under 
  rule 7.1A 
  Notes: 
   *    This applies to equity securities - not just ordinary 
        securities 
 
 
   *    Include here - if applicable - the securities the 
        subject of the Appendix 3B to which this form is 
        annexed 
 
 
   *    Do not include equity securities issued under rule 
        7.1 (they must be dealt with in Part 1), or for which 
        specific security holder approval has been obtained 
 
 
   *    It may be useful to set out issues of securities on 
        different dates as separate line items                                             0 
--------------------------------------------------------------  ---------------------------- 
 "E"                                                                                       0 
--------------------------------------------------------------  ---------------------------- 
 
 
 Step 4: Subtract "E" from ["A" x "D"] to calculate remaining 
  placement capacity under rule 7.1A 
----------------------------------------------------------------

  Note: number must be same 
  as shown in Step 2                                  92,576,629 
------------------------------  -------------------------------- 
 Subtract "E" 
  Note: number must be same 
  as shown in Step 3                                           0 
------------------------------  -------------------------------- 
 Total ["A" x 0.10] - "E"                             92,576,629 
                                     Note: this is the remaining

                                                            7.1A
