4. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Investor; Waiver.
 
The Investor acknowledges, represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company and the Placement Agents that:
 
4.1 The Investor (a) is knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in making, and is qualified to make decisions with respect to, investments in securities presenting an investment decision like that involved in the purchase of the Units, including investments in securities issued by the Company and investments in comparable companies, and has requested, received, reviewed and considered all information it deemed relevant in making an informed decision to purchase the Units, (b) has answered all questions on the Signature Page and the Investor Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit A for use in preparation of the Final Prospectus and the answers thereto are true and correct as of the date hereof and will be true and correct as of the Closing Date and (c) in connection with its decision to purchase the number of Units set forth on the Signature Page, has received and is relying solely upon (i) the Disclosure Package and the documents incorporated by reference therein and (ii) the Offering Information.


 
4.2 (a) No action has been or will be taken in any jurisdiction outside the United States by the Company or the Placement Agents that would permit an offering of the Units, or possession or distribution of offering materials in connection with the issue of the Securities in any jurisdiction outside the United States where action for that purpose is required, (b) if the Investor is outside the United States, it will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in each foreign jurisdiction in which it purchases, offers, sells or delivers Securities or has in its possession or distributes any offering material, in all cases at its own expense and (c) the Placement Agents are not authorized to make and have not made any representation, disclosure or use of any information in connection with the issue, placement, purchase and sale of the Units, except as set forth or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus or the Offering Information.
 
4.3 (a) The Investor has full right, power, authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and (b) this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Investor enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and except as to the enforceability of any rights to indemnification or contribution that may be violative of the public policy underlying any law, rule or regulation (including any U.S. federal or state securities law, rule or regulation).
 
4.4 The Investor understands that nothing in this Agreement, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any other materials presented to the Investor in connection with the purchase and sale of the Units constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. The Investor has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of Units.
 
4.5 Since the date on which either the Company or the Placement Agents first contacted such Investor about the Offering, the Investor has not engaged in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any Short Sales (as defined below) involving the Company’s securities). Each Investor covenants that it will not engage in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including Short Sales) prior to the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed. Each Investor agrees that it will not use any of the Units acquired pursuant to this Agreement to cover any short position in the Ordinary Shares if doing so would be in violation of applicable securities laws. For purposes hereof, “Short Sales” include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, whether or not against the box, and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sales contracts, options, puts, calls, short sales, swaps, “put equivalent positions” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act) and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers.
 
4.6 The acquisition of the Units and the acquisition of ADSs following exercise of the Warrants will not require the Investor to seek prior approval of the Foreign Investment Review Board under the Australian Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 1975 (Cth).

4.7 (a) The acquisition of the Units and the acquisition of ADSs following exercise of the Warrants will not involve the acquisition of a relevant interest in Ordinary Shares which causes the voting power in the Company of the Investor or an associate (as defined in the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)) of the Investor to exceed 20% or to increase from a starting point that is above 20% and below 90%.


 
(b) The Investor understands that if, as a result of any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the Investor will acquire a relevant interest in Ordinary Shares which causes the voting power in the Company of the Investor or an associate (as defined in the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)) of the Investor to exceed 20% or to increase from a starting point that is above 20% and below 90%, and there is no relevant exception to the acquisition under the Corporations Act, the Investor may not acquire the relevant ADSs unless permitted under s611 of the Corporations Act.

4.8 The Investor and the Company agree that, subject to satisfaction (or waiver in Investor’s sole discretion) of the conditions herein, the payment of funds and delivery of the Securities will take place on or about July 13, 2007. This agreement constitutes an express agreement of the parties at the time of the transaction within the meaning of Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act.

5. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements; Third Party Beneficiary.
