PSIVIDA
LIMITED, an Australian corporation (the "Company"),
hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, CASTLERIGG MASTER INVESTMENTS
LTD., the 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 (as defined below) (including any Warrants to Purchase
ADRs issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, the "Warrant"),
at
any time or times on or after the date hereof, but not after 11:59 p.m., New
York Time, on the Expiration Date (as defined below), representing up to Five
Million, Seven Hundred Thousand (5,700,000) 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 15. This Warrant is one of the Warrants to
purchase Warrant Shares (the "SPA
Warrants")
issued
pursuant to Section 1 of that certain Amendment Agreement, dated as of July
28,
2006 (the "Subscription
Date"),
by
and among the Company and the investors (the "Buyers")
referred to therein (the "Amendment
Agreement").
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 date hereof, 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").
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
Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant
(in
accordance with Section 7(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
$1.80 per ADR (which is equivalent to $0.18 per Ordinary Share), 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
such 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, if a Registration Statement (as
defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the Warrant Shares that
are the subject of the Exercise Notice (the "Unavailable
Warrant Shares")
is not
available for resale of such Unavailable Warrant Shares then the Holder may
elect to exercise this Warrant for Warrant Shares in the form of ADRs or in
the
form of the Ordinary Shares underlying the ADRs and in either case the Company
must, contemporaneous with the issue of the Warrant Shares that are the subject
of the Exercise Notice, lodge with the ASX Limited a notice complying with
section 708A(5)(E) of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules
("Cleansing
Notice")
and
notify the Holder that it has so lodged a Cleansing Notice, and upon the
lodgement by the Company of the Cleansing Notice, the Holder is free to dispose
of any Ordinary Shares or any interest in Ordinary Shares it holds on the
Australian Stock Exchange Limited in the ordinary course of trading or otherwise
in Australia to any person and the restrictions on sale in that certain
Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 5, 2005, by and among the
Company and the buyers listed on the Schedule of Buyers attached thereto (the
"Securities
Purchase Agreement"),
including without limitation in section 2(j)(C) of the Securities Purchase
Agreement, does not apply to any such disposal. 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 12.
(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.
(ii)
Principal
Market Regulation.
The
Company shall not be obligated to issue any ADRs 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, if the issuance of such ADRs would exceed
that number of ADRs which the Company may issue upon exercise of this Warrant
(including, as applicable, any ADRs 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 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 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 underlying the SPA Warrants issued to such Buyer pursuant to
the
Amendment Agreement on the Subscription Date and the denominator of which is
the
aggregate number of ADRs underlying all the Warrants issued to the Buyers
pursuant to the Amendment Agreement on the Subscription Date (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
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 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 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.
(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
a
warrant 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 (4)(b) 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 6, 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 7(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 7(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 7(d)) representing the right
to
purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant.
(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 7(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 7(a) or Section 7(c), the Warrant

the
Required Holders and approval from the holders of Ordinary Shares at a
shareholders meeting held in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and

of
the holders of the SPA Warrants then outstanding.

Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accor-dance with,
and
all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and
performance of this Warrant shall be governed by, the internal laws of the

to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the
terms
of this Warrant. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations
hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at
law
for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in
the
event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant shall
be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction
restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and
without any bond or other security being required.
