The net proceeds of the sale of these Entitlements will then be forwarded by the Company as soon as practicable to the Ineligible Shareholders, in proportion to their share of such Entitlements (after deducting brokerage commission and other expenses). If any such net proceeds of sale are less than the reasonable costs that would be incurred by the Company for distributing those proceeds, such proceeds may be retained by the Company.

Notwithstanding that the nominee may sell Entitlements, Ineligible Shareholders may nevertheless receive no net proceeds if the costs of the sale are greater than the sale proceeds.

Neither the Company nor the nominee will be subject to any liability for failure to sell the Entitlements or to sell them at a particular price. If, in the reasonable opinion of the nominee, there is no viable market for the Entitlements of the Ineligible Shareholders, or a surplus over the expenses of the sale cannot be obtained the Entitlements that would have been offered to the Ineligible Shareholders, then those Entitlements will be allowed to lapse. The New Shares not taken up will form part of the New Shares to be taken up by the Underwriter pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.
