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
