PSIVIDA LIMITED
WARRANT TO PURCHASE ADRS

Warrant No.:
Number of ADRs:
Date of Issuance: September 26, 2006 ("Issuance Date")

PSIVIDA LIMITED, an Australian corporation (the "Company"), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the "Holder"), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon surrender of this Warrant to Purchase ADRs (including any Warrants to Purchase ADRs issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, the "Warrant"), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, but not after 11:59 p.m., New York Time, on the Expiration Date (as defined below), up to                                                                       fully paid nonassessable ADRs (as defined below) (the "Warrant Shares"). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in Section 16. This Warrant is one of the Warrants to purchase Warrant Shares (the "SPA Warrants") issued pursuant to Section 1 of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"), dated as of September 18, 2006 (the "Subscription Date"), by and among the Company, Absolute Octane Fund (“AOF”), Australian IT Investments Limited (“AIT”) and Absolute European Catalyst Fund (“Absolute European” and, with AOF and AIT, the “Buyers”).
 

 
 
1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT .
 
(a) Mechanics of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(f)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any day on or after the Issuance Date, in whole or in part, by (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Exercise Notice"), of the Holder's election to exercise this Warrant and (ii)  payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the "Aggregate Exercise Price") in cash or wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. On or before the second (2nd) Business Day following the date on which the Company has received each of the Exercise Notice and the Aggregate Exercise Price (the "Exercise Delivery Documents"), the Company shall transmit by facsimile an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents to the Holder and the Company's transfer agent (the "Transfer Agent"). Subject to Section 7(b), on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date on which the Company has received all of the Exercise Delivery Documents (the "Share Delivery Date"), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company's share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of the Exercise Delivery Documents, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Ordinary Shares represented by the ADRs with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing the ADRs. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 6(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional Warrant Shares are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but, at the option of the Company, (i) the number of Warrant Shares to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number or (ii) in lieu of any fractional Warrant Shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall make a cash payment to the Holder equal to the Closing Sale Price on the date of exercise multiplied by such fraction. Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall deposit the corresponding number of Ordinary Shares representing the American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") underlying the ADRs and pay by wire transfer to the Depositary’s account the ADS issuance fee of $0.04 per ADS to be issued, together with all applicable taxes and expenses otherwise payable under the terms of the Deposit Agreement for the deposit of Ordinary Shares and issuance of ADSs (including, without limitation, confirmation that any Australian stock transfer taxes in respect of such deposit (if any) have been paid by the Company), and the Company shall otherwise comply with and cause any other necessary party to comply with all the terms of the Deposit Agreement. The Company shall pay any and all taxes (excluding any taxes on the income of the Holder) which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant. Appropriate and equitable adjustment to the terms and provisions of this Warrant shall be made in the event of any change to the ratio of Warrant Shares to Ordinary Shares represented thereby.

In the event that the Company’s Board of Directors should determine that the Company shall transform itself (whether by re-incorporation in the United States or otherwise) from a foreign private issuer (as defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) all references to ADRs or ADSs shall be deemed references to whatever shares are then issued by the re-domiciled Company and all other provisions of this Agreement shall be equitably adjusted by the parties hereto to the extent necessary or appropriate to reflect such new country of incorporation.
 
(b) Exercise Price. For purposes of this Warrant, "Exercise Price" means US$ 2.00, subject to adjustment as provided herein.
 
(c) Company's Failure to Timely Deliver Securities. If the Company shall fail to issue to the Holder, the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder's exercise of this Warrant and register such Warrant Shares on the Company's share register or to credit the Holder's balance account with DTC for such number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder's exercise of this Warrant on or prior to the date which is three (3) Business Days after receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents (an "Exercise Failure"), then the Company shall pay damages in cash to the Holder for each date of such Exercise Failure in an amount equal to an interest rate equal to 10% per annum applied to the product of (X) the sum of the number of Warrant Shares not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled and (Y) the Closing Sale Price of the Warrant Shares on the Share Delivery Date. In addition to the foregoing, if within three (3) Trading Days after the Company's receipt of the facsimile copy of a Exercise Notice the Company shall fail to issue and deliver to the Holder and register such Warrant Shares on the Company's share register or credit the Holder's balance account with DTC for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder's exercise hereunder, and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) ADRs to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of ADRs issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder's request and in the Holder's discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the ADRs so purchased (the "Buy-In Price"), at which point the Company's obligation to deliver and issue such ADRs shall be deemed to have been satisfied and shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such ADRs and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of ADRs, times (B) the Closing Bid Price on the date of exercise.

(d) Registration Rights.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder may elect to exercise this Warrant for Warrant Shares in the form of ADRs or (subject to Section 7(b)) in the form of the Ordinary Shares underlying the ADRs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from after the second anniversary of the Issuance Date, in the event that the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares that trades on the ASX is less than either (i) an average of 50,000 Common Shares on each Trading Day during any two month period or (ii) a weighted average trading price of at least US$50,000 on average during each Trading Day during any two month period, then at the request of the Holder the Company as of the date of such request once again (each of (i) and (ii), a "Registration Event") shall be subject to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement as to the Warrant Shares; provided, that the Holder makes such request within thirty (30) days of a Registration Event.
 
(e) Disputes. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 13.
 
(f) Limitations on Exercises.
 
(i) Beneficial Ownership. The Company shall not effect the exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the Holder (together with affiliates) would beneficially own (directly or indirectly through Warrant Shares or otherwise) in excess of 4.99% (the "Maximum Percentage") of the Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned (directly or indirectly through Warrant Shares or otherwise) by the Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of Ordinary Shares underlying Warrant Shares which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this section, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares as reflected in (1) the Company's most recent Form 20-F, Form 6-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within two (2) Business Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the SPA Securities and the SPA Warrants, by the Holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding Ordinary Shares was reported. By written notice to the Company, the Holder may increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder of SPA Warrants.
 
-4-

 
 
(ii) Principal Market Regulation. The Company shall not be obligated to issue any ADRs (or Ordinary Shares) upon exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder of this Warrant shall not have the right to receive upon conversion of this Warrant, any ADRs (or Ordinary Shares), if the issuance of such ADRs (or Ordinary Shares) would exceed that number of ADRs (or Ordinary Shares) which the Company may issue upon exercise of this Warrant (including, as applicable, any ADRs (or Ordinary Shares) issued upon conversion of the SPA Securities) without breaching the Company's obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market (or such other Eligible Market on which the ADRs or Ordinary Shares are listed) or the ASX (the "Exchange Cap"), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Principal Market and the ASX listing rules for issuances of ADRs (or Ordinary Shares) in excess of such amount. Until such approval is obtained, no Buyer shall be issued, in the aggregate, upon exercise or conversion, as applicable, of any SPA Warrants or SPA Securities, any ADRs (or Ordinary Shares) in an amount greater than the product of the Exchange Cap multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of ADRs (or Ordinary Shares) underlying the SPA Warrants issued to such Buyer pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of ADRs (or Ordinary Shares) underlying all the Convertible Securities issued to the Buyers pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (with respect to each Buyer, the "Exchange Cap Allocation"). In the event that any Buyer shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Buyer's SPA Warrants, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Buyer's Exchange Cap Allocation, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap Allocation allocated to such transferee. In the event that any holder of SPA Warrants shall exercise all of such holder's SPA Warrants into a number of ADRs (or Ordinary Shares) which, in the aggregate, is less than such holder's Exchange Cap Allocation, then the difference between such holder's Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of ADRs (or Ordinary Shares) actually issued to such holder shall be allocated to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining holders of SPA Warrants on a pro rata basis in proportion to the ADRs(or Ordinary Shares) underlying the SPA Warrants then held by each such holder.

2. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE.
 
(a) If the Company issues or gives the holders of Ordinary Shares in the Company the right, pro rata with existing holdings of Ordinary Shares, to subscribe for additional securities ("Pro Rata Issue"), the Exercise Price in respect of one underlying Ordinary Share shall be reduced in accordance with the following formula:
 
O' = O -  
E [P - (S + D)]
N + 1
 
Where: 

O'
=
the new Exercise Price in respect of an underlying Ordinary Share.
     
O
=
the original Exercise Price in respect of an underlying Ordinary Share.
     
E
=
the number of underlying Ordinary Shares to be issued on exercise of each Warrant.
     
P
=
the average market price per Ordinary Share (weighted by reference to volume) of the Ordinary Shares during the 5 trading days ending before the ex rights date or ex entitlements date.
     
S
=
the subscription price for an Ordinary Share under the Pro Rata Issue.
     
D
=
the dividend due but not paid on the existing Ordinary Shares (excluding those to be issued under the Pro Rata Issue).
     
N
=
the number of Ordinary Shares which must be held to receive one new Share in the Pro Rata Issue.
 
(b) Adjustment upon pro rata bonus issue of Ordinary Shares. If the Company makes a pro rata bonus issue of Ordinary Shares to its shareholders prior to the Warrant being exercised, and the Warrant is not exercised prior to the record date for the issue, the Warrant will, when exercised, entitle the Holder to the number of Warrant Shares that would ordinarily be received under Section 1, plus the number of bonus Ordinary Shares which would have been issued to the Holder if the Warrant had been exercised prior to the record date.
 
-6-

 
 
(c) Adjustment upon Subdivision or Combination of Ordinary Shares. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding ADRs (or Ordinary Shares underlying such ADRs) into a greater number of ADRs (or Ordinary Shares), the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares (or Ordinary Shares underlying such Warrant Shares) will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding ADRs (or Ordinary Shares underlying such ADRs) into a smaller number of ADRs (or Ordinary Shares underlying such ADRs), the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares (or Ordinary Shares underlying such Warrant Shares) will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 2(c) shall be subject to (and will be correspondingly reorganized in a manner which is permissible under, or necessary to comply with) the ASX Listing Rules or the rules of any recognized exchange in force at the relevant time and shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
 
(d) Other Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company's Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares so as to protect the rights of the Holder; provided that such adjustment is made in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules. No such adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(d) will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2, unless in accordance with any ASX Listing Rule.
 
(e) Other Capital Reorganizations. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Warrant, the rights of the Holder will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the listing rules applying to a reorganization of capital at the time of reorganization. Subject to the above, if there is a reorganization of the capital of the Company, the number of Warrant Shares applicable to the Warrant and/or Exercise Price of the Warrant will be reorganized as follows: (i) if the Company returns capital on its Ordinary Shares, the number of Warrant Shares applicable to the Warrant will remain the same, and the Exercise Price of each Warrant will be reduced by the same amount as the amount returned in relation to each Ordinary Share; (ii) if the Company returns capital on its Ordinary Shares by a cancellation of capital that is lost or not represented by available assets, the number of Warrant Shares applicable to the Warrant and the Exercise Price is unaltered; (iii) if the Company reduces its issued Ordinary Shares on a pro rata basis, the number of Warrant Shares applicable to the Warrant will be reduced in the same ratio as the Ordinary Shares and the Exercise Price will be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio; and (iv) if the Company reorganizes its issued Ordinary Shares in any way not otherwise contemplated by the preceding paragraphs, the number of Warrant Shares applicable to the Warrant or the Exercise Price or both will be reorganized so that the Warrant Holder will not receive a benefit that holders of Ordinary Shares do not receive. The Company shall give notice to Warrant Holders of any adjustments to the number of Warrant Shares applicable to the Warrant or the number of Ordinary Shares which are to be issued on exercise of a Warrant or to the Exercise Price. Before a Warrant is exercised, all adjustment calculations are to be carried out including all fractions (in relation to each of the number of Warrant Shares applicable to the Warrant, the number of Ordinary Shares and the Exercise Price), but on exercise the number of Warrant Shares or Ordinary Shares issued is rounded down to the next lower whole number and the Exercise Price rounded up to the next higher cent.

3. FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS . The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless, and shall use its best endeavors to procure that, (i)  the Successor Entity (if other than the Company) assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders and approved by the Required Holders prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to each holder of Warrants in exchange for such Warrants a security of such Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant, including, without limitation, an adjusted exercise price equal to the value for the Ordinary Shares reflected by the terms of such Fundamental Transaction, and exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrant Shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders and (ii) such Successor Entity is a publicly traded corporation whose common shares (or whose American Depositary Shares) are quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, such Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the "Company" shall refer instead to such Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, such Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the Warrant Shares (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of the publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of Ordinary Shares (directly or indirectly through Warrant Shares or otherwise) are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for Ordinary Shares (a "Corporate Event"), the Company shall make appropriate provision, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, to insure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction but prior to the Expiration Date, in lieu of the Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such, securities or other, assets which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had the Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant.

4. NONCIRCUMVENTION . The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Constitution or Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrant Shares receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect and (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant.
 
5. WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in such Person's capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person's capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 5, the Company shall provide the Holder with copies of the same notices and other information given to the shareholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the shareholders.
 
6. REISSUANCE OF WARRANTS.
 
(a) Transfer of Warrant. If this Warrant is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 6(d)), registered as the Holder may request, representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares being transferred by the Holder and, if less then the total number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant is being transferred, a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 6(d)) to the Holder representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares not being transferred.
 
(b) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 6(d)) representing the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant.
 
-9-

 
 
(c) Exchangeable for Multiple Warrants. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Warrant or Warrants (in accordance with Section 6(d)) representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant, and each such new Warrant will represent the right to purchase such portion of such Warrant Shares as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender; provided, however, that no Warrants for fractional Warrant Shares shall be given.
 
(d) Issuance of New Warrants. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such new Warrant (i) shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant, the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant (or in the case of a new Warrant being issued pursuant to Section 6(a) or Section 6(c), the Warrant Shares designated by the Holder which, when added to the number of Warrant Shares underlying the other new Warrants issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Issuance Date, and (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Warrant.
 
7. TRADING OF ORDINARY SHARES.
 
(a) Omnibus Disclosure Document.
 
(i) The Company shall, as soon as practicable after the Issuance Date, use its reasonable efforts to obtain a modification of the Corporations Act from the ASIC with respect to the use of the Initial Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) as a disclosure document for the purposes of Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act (the “Omnibus Disclosure Document”) and a separate modification from the ASIC to the effect that, once the Omnibus Disclosure Document and any “wrap” required by ASIC has been issued, all further Warrant Shares which may be issued can be sold without the need for a Cleansing Notice (as defined below) or Disclosure Document (as defined below). At the Company’s request, the Holder shall reasonably assist the Company in obtaining such modifications. 
 
(ii) In the event that such modifications referred to in Section 7(a)(i) are granted, the Company shall, as soon as practicable after the Effective Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) of the Initial Registration Statement but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after the Effective Date of the Initial Registration Statement, prepare and lodge with the ASIC the Omnibus Disclosure Document covering the issuance of the full number of Warrant Shares or other Ordinary Shares issuable in accordance with the terms of this Warrant (each such issuance, a “Triggering Issuance”) such that the issue of the Omnibus Disclosure Document will have the effect of permitting the holders of Ordinary Shares issued in a Triggering Issuance to make offers for sale of those Ordinary Shares in accordance with Australian law without the need for the issue by the Company of either a Cleansing Notice or a Disclosure Document.
 
-10-

 
 
(b) Cleansing Notice and/or Disclosure Document.
 
(i) If the required ASIC modifications have not been obtained or an Omnibus Disclosure Document has not been lodged with the ASIC, then no later than five (5) Business Days after the issuance of any Warrant Shares hereunder, the Company shall issue, if permitted by applicable law, a notice complying with section 708A(6) of the Corporations Act (the “Cleansing Notice”) and shall notify the Holder that it has issued such Cleansing Notice.
 
(ii) Notwithstanding Section 7(b)(i), if the issue of any Cleansing Notice would require the Company to disclose information in accordance with Section 708A(6)(e) of the Corporations Act, the Company may delay the issue of such Cleansing Notice (and the issuance of any Warrant Shares corresponding to such Cleansing Notice) for a period (a “Delay Period”) not exceeding fifteen (15) consecutive days after receipt by the Company of the Exercise Notice for such Warrant Shares, provided that during any 365 day period such Delay Periods shall not exceed an aggregate of forty-five (45) days.
 
(iii) If the Company is required to issue a Cleansing Notice pursuant to Section 7(b)(ii) but either (x) the Company is not permitted to issue such Cleansing Notice under applicable law or (y) the issuance of such Cleansing Notice would not result in the Warrant Shares covered by such Cleansing Notice being eligible to be traded on the ASX, the Company shall as soon as practicable, but in no event later than twenty (20) Business Days after receipt by the Company of the Exercise Notice for such Warrant Shares, lodge with the ASIC a disclosure document for the purposes of Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act (a “Disclosure Document”) covering the Warrant Shares that would have been covered by such Cleansing Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Company (1) shall not be required to issue any such Disclosure Document or any Warrant Shares corresponding to such Disclosure Document during any Delay Period, and (2) shall not be required to lodge more than one Disclosure Document during any ninety (90) day period in connection with any issued and outstanding Convertible Securities of the Company.
 
(iv) Subject to the provisions of Section 7(b)(v), the Company will (1) within two (2) Business Days following the issuance of any Warrant Shares, apply to the ASX for unconditional admission to trading for such shares, and (2) take all reasonable measures to ensure that, from the time of issue of any Warrant Shares, such shares are eligible to be traded on the ASX.
 
-11-

 
 
(v) In the event that the Company elects to delay the issuance of any Warrant Shares pursuant to Sections 7(b)(ii) or 7(b)(iii) for any Delay Period, the Company shall notify the Holder of such Delay Period and the length of the applicable Delay Period. The Holder may, no later than two (2) Business Days after the date of the notification from the Company, notify the Company in writing of the Holder’s consent to such Delay, whereupon the Company shall issue the applicable Ordinary Shares in conjunction with the Cleansing Notice or Disclosure Document, as the case may be, at the conclusion of the Delay Period.
