Quotation agreement


1 +Quotation of our additional +securities is in ASX's absolute 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.
