(b) | the Company has power to enter into and to perform its obligations under each Transaction Document and has taken all necessary corporate and other action to authorise the execution, delivery and performance, in accordance with their respective terms, of each Transaction Document; | |
(c) | each Transaction Document has been validly executed by the Company; | |
(d) | the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of each Transaction Document does not contravene or cause a breach or default under, and will not result in any contravention of, or breach or default under: |

(ii) | the laws of the Relevant Jurisdictions applicable to companies generally; and |
(e) | no consent, licence, approval, authorisation or exemption of any governmental agency or authority is required by the laws of the Relevant Jurisdictions for or in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents. |
5 | Assumptions |

(b) | all copies of documents submitted to us are complete and conform to the originals of those documents and that the documents referred to inparagraph3(b) were in full force and effect as at the date of the written resolutions of the directors and the date the Transaction Documents were executed by the Company; | |
(c) | each Transaction Document: |

(e) | no addressee has executed a Transaction Document as a trustee; |

(g) | we and each Addressee are entitled to make and rely on all of the assumptions specified in section 129 of theCorporations Act 2001(as though there were relevant dealings with the Company) and on the basis that no partner or solicitor of this firm nor any other person is disqualified from making those assumptions; | |
(h) | in relation to the extract of written resolutions inparagraph 3: |
(i) | all directors who signed the written resolution were entitled to do so; |
(ii) | the resolutions referred to in each extract of resolutions referred to inparagraph3(b)(ii) were properly passed and have not been varied or revoked; and |
(iii) | all provisions relating to the declaration of directors’ interests or the power of interested directors to vote were properly complied with; |

(j) | none of the parties to any of the Transaction Documents is conducting or will conduct any relevant transaction or any associated activity in a manner or for a purpose not evident on the face of the Transaction Documents which might render the Transaction Documents or any relevant transaction or associated activity illegal, void, voidable or unenforceable; |
(k) | in so far as any obligation under any of the Transaction Documents is to be performed outside the Relevant Jurisdictions, its performance will not be illegal or ineffective by virtue of the law of the place of performance; and |
(l) | no liquidator, administrator, receiver or like person has been appointed to the Company and there is no current application for the winding up of the Company (and we note the ASIC Search does not reveal, to the extent it would reveal, any such appointment or application). |
