Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by such Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of such Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, such Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification
by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%" ALIGN="justify"><FONT

set up and maintain a register of holders of such debentures in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 2C. Failure to do so gives rise to an offence by the Company, however, section 171(2) of the Corporations Act provides that a failure to
comply with section 171(1) of the Corporations Act (which relates to the information that must be contained in a register of debenture holders) in relation to a debenture does not affect the debenture itself. If the Exchange Notes are bearer
securities, compliance with Chapter 2C may not be possible to the extent that the Register is required to reflect the holders of the Exchange Notes at all times. It is at least arguable that in the case of bearer securities Chapter 2C does not
require more than the entry into the Register of details in respect of the initial holders of those Exchange Notes, as this is all that can be reasonably done. However, this is not beyond doubt; </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE> <P
