Part 2

 
                        Rule 7.1A - Additional placement capacity 
                                   for eligible entities 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 Step 1: Calculate "A", the base figure from 
  which the placement capacity is calculated 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 "A" 
  Note: number must be 
  same as shown in Step 
  1 of Part 1                                                                 982,814,766 
--------------------------------------------------------------  ------------------------- 
 Step 2: Calculate 10% of "A" 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 "D"                                                                                 0.10 
                                                                  Note: this value cannot 
                                                                               be changed 
--------------------------------------------------------------  ------------------------- 
 Multiply "A" by 0.10                                                          98,281,476 
--------------------------------------------------------------  ------------------------- 
 Step 3: Calculate "E", the amount of placement 
  capacity under rule 7.1A that has already 
  been used 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 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 
------------------------------------------------------- 
 "A" x 0.10 
  Note: number must be 
  same as shown in Step 
  2                                          98,281,476 
------------------------  ----------------------------- 
 Subtract "E" 
  Note: number must be 
  same as shown in Step 
  3                                                   0 
------------------------  ----------------------------- 
 Total ["A" x 0.10]                          98,281,476 
  - "E"                     Note: this is the remaining 
                                     placement capacity 
                                        under rule 7.1A
