Re:

Limited ADSs
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
Reference
is made to (i) the Deposit Agreement, dated as of January 24, 2005 (the
“Deposit
Agreement”),
by
and among pSivida Limited, a company organized under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Australia (the “Company”),
Citibank, N.A., as Depositary (the “Depositary”),
and
all Holders and Beneficial Owners of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”)
evidenced by American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”)
issued
thereunder, and (ii) the Letter Agreement, dated as of December 30, 2005 (the
“CDS
Letter Agreement”),
by
and between the Company and the Depositary, in respect of the issuance of
Restricted American Depositary Shares (“Restricted
ADSs”)
in
connection with the acquisition by the Company of Control Delivery Systems,
Inc.
(the “CDS
Acquisition”).
All
capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined, herein shall have the meaning
given to such terms in the CDS Letter Agreement or, if not defined in the CDS
Letter Agreement, the Deposit Agreement.
The
Depositary has received evidence from the Company’s U.S. counsel that the Resale
Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission. The
Company understands that a number of Beneficial Owners of Restricted ADSs have
converted or intend to exchange the Restricted ADSs issued as part of the CDS
Acquisition into ADSs in connection with resale transactions covered by the
Resale Registration Statement.
The
Company is in the process of obtaining the requisite approvals in Australia
to
make the Shares represented by the Restricted ADSs issued in the CDS Acquisition
freely transferable under Australian law.
The
Company hereby instructs the Depositary to require all persons presenting ADSs
to the Depositary for cancellation and withdrawal of the corresponding Shares
to
deliver a withdrawal certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
A
(the
“Withdrawal
Certification(s)”)
and to
require the delivery of Withdrawal Certifications in connection with all
cancellations of ADSs for the purpose of withdrawing Shares until such time
as
the Company has confirmed to the Depositary in writing that (i) the applicable
approvals have been obtained in Australia to make the Shares represented by
Restricted ADSs issued in the CDS Acquisition freely transferable, or (ii)
the
statutory period has expired and the Shares represented by the Restricted ADSs
issued in the CDS Acquisition are, as a result, freely transferable under
Australian law.
