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.

the +securities to be quoted under section 1019B of the Corporations Act at
