10.      GOODS AND SERVICES TAX

         10.1  All amounts payable by the Purchaser under this Contract are
               expressed on a GST exclusive basis. If GST is payable in
               relation to a Taxable Supply the amount payable for the
               Taxable Supply will be the amount specified in this Contract
               plus GST.

         10.2  If the Vendor becomes liable to pay GST in respect of a
               Taxable Supply prior to the date that all the consideration
               for that Taxable Supply is required to be paid by the
               Purchaser then the Purchaser must pay to the Vendor on demand
               an additional amount equal to the GST payable by the Vendor in
               respect of that Taxable Supply.

         10.3  At the same time as paying the Deposit to the Vendor's Agent
               or the Vendor's Solicitors the Purchaser must pay the
               proportion of the GST applicable to the Deposit, which will be
               held on the same terms as the Deposit. The Purchaser
               acknowledges that if this Contract is rescinded and the
               Deposit forfeited to the Vendor, the additional amount equal
               to one tenth of the Deposit will also be forfeited to the
               Vendor.

11.      FOREIGN ACQUISITION

         The Purchaser warrants that the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act
         1975 does not apply to the Purchaser or to this purchase. In the event
         that this warranty is untrue in any respect the Purchaser indemnifies
         the Vendor against any loss, damage, penalty, fine and legal costs that
         the Vendor may incur as a result of the Vendor having relied on this
         warranty.

12.      DEPOSIT

         The Deposit payable by the Purchaser shall be paid to either of the
         Vendor's Agent (if any), or the Vendor's Solicitors, P. Rosenbaum &
         Associates of Suite 1, First Floor 206-208 Commercial Road, Prahran to
         be held in accordance with the provisions of the Sale of Land Act 1962.
         The Deposit may be invested by the Vendor's Solicitors in an interest
         bearing bank account in the joint names of the Vendor and the Purchaser
         until the Settlement Date as prescribed in this Contract or upon the
         Vendor being entitled to the release of the Deposit whichever is the
         earlier, and the Vendor and the Purchaser hereby authorise such
         investment of the Deposit by the Vendor's Solicitors. Net interest
         earned on the Deposit shall be paid to the Vendor unless this Contract
         fails to proceed due to a default on the part of the Vendor in which
         case net interest earned on the Deposit shall be paid to the Purchaser.
         Any interest earned on the Deposit shall not form part of the Price.

13.      SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER

         he becomes entitled to possession:-

         (a)   Pay to the Vendor or his Solicitors the sum of TWO HUNDRED
               DOLLARS ($200.00), and

               undertakes to deliver) the Purchaser shall have the right at
               any time prior to the date upon which he becomes entitled to
<PAGE>

               possession of the property hereby sold to substitute a person
               (being a corporation or otherwise) in its place as Purchaser
               provided that until such time as the substitution is effected

               covenants and conditions herein on the part of the Purchaser
               to be performed and observed.

         Substitution shall be effected by the Purchaser delivering to the
         Vendor:-

         (i)   An identical copy of this Contract of Sale (including a copy
               of the Certificate pursuant to Section 32 of the Sale of Land
               Act) save for this clause and the name of the Purchaser
               executed by the substituted Purchaser (with dates of payments
               of moneys adjusted if necessary to coincide with this Contract
               of Sale and the date upon which the substituted Purchaser
               under the substituted Contract of Sale shall become
               responsible for any notices or orders relating to the property
               hereby sold being the date of this Contract of Sale) and
               prepared by the Purchaser's Solicitors at the cost of the
               Purchaser;

         (ii)  An authority from the Purchaser addressed to the Vendor and
               authorising the Vendor to apply the Deposit paid herein as the
               Deposit payable under the substituted Contract of Sale; and

         (iii) A duly executed guarantee in the form annexed hereto by the
               Purchaser of all the obligations of the substituted Purchaser
               under the substituted Contract of Sale. The Vendor shall
               simultaneously with payment of the purchase money deliver an
               identical part of the substituted Contract of Sale executed by
               the Vendor and this Contract of Sale shall be deemed cancelled
               provided that the requisitions (if any) delivered by the
               Purchaser to the Vendor and the answers thereto both made in
               pursuance of the terms of this Contract of Sale shall be
               deemed to be the requisitions and answers thereto respectively
               under the substituted Contract of Sale.

14.      REQUISITIONS

         14.1  The Purchaser has accepted title.

               Conditions.

         14.3  The Vendor warrants to the Purchaser that:-

               (a)   The Vendor is not under any disability that it knows of
                     which would prevent it from in any way completing its
                     obligations under this Contract;

               (b)   To the Vendor's knowledge the Property is not subject to
                     any unregistered easement, covenant or other similar
                     restriction except for those revealed in this Contract
                     or the Vendor's Statement or those that the Purchaser
                     should have discovered after making the enquiries and

         Condition.

         16.2  Settlement shall take place at the offices of the Vendor's
               Solicitors or at such place in Victoria as the Vendor shall
               direct.

17.      NO MERGER

         The provisions of this Contract shall not merge in the transfer of the
         land and shall continue to bind the Vendor and the Purchaser to the
         extent that any of them require to be complied with after the
         Settlement Date.

18.      GUARANTEE

         In the event that the Purchaser (or if there is more than one Purchaser
         any one or more of them) shall be a corporation then the Purchaser
         shall complete to the Vendor's satisfaction the execution by each of
         the Directors of the said corporation of the Guarantee annexed hereto.
