5 That the Corporate Authorisations have not in any way been modified, amended, annulled, rescinded or revoked and are in full force and effect and that no further resolutions of the members of the Company have been passed, or corporate or other action taken, which would or might alter the effectiveness of the Corporate Authorisations.

QUALIFICATIONS

1 No opinion is expressed as to matters of fact.

2 We do not express any opinion as to any taxation matters or consequences which will or may arise as a result of any transaction effected in connection with any Notation of Guarantee or the rights of remedies of any taxation authority in respect of non-payment of taxes or the failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations relating to taxation. For these purpose “taxation” and “taxes” shall be deemed to include stamp duties, stamp duty reserve tax and value added tax (or similar indirect taxes).

3 This opinion does not cover any laws, statutes, governmental rules or regulations or decisions which in our experience are not usually considered for or covered by opinions like those contained in this letter.

4 If (i) the Notation of Guarantee will not promote the success of the Company or is not for the benefit of its members as a whole; (ii) any guarantee or indemnity contained in the Notation of Guarantee was not given for legitimate purposes of the Company; or (iii) the members of the Company have in any meeting of the Company imposed any restriction on its ability to give guarantees or indemnities, then it is possible that such guarantee and indemnity could be void or voidable at the instance of the shareholders of the Company or on the grounds that the directors of the Company did not discharge their fiduciary duties in causing the Company to enter into the Notation of Guarantee or on the grounds that it is ultra vires the corporate powers, objects and capacity of the Company. These are factual matters as to which we have made no enquiry, as to which a directors’ certificate will not necessarily be conclusive and as to which we express no opinion.
