This Opinion Letter is limited to Belgian law at the date of this opinion as currently applied by the Belgian courts. We have made no investigation of, and do not express or imply any views or opinions on the laws of any country other than Belgium. We will not take into account any new or retroactive legislation which, when introduced, may in any way affect or prejudice any opinion in this Opinion Letter.

This Opinion Letter is given on the basis that it will be governed by and construed in accordance with Belgian law. Belgian courts have exclusive jurisdiction with respect to this Opinion Letter.

In this Opinion Letter, all terms or expressions used with a capital letter shall have the same meaning as ascribed to them under the Third Supplemental Indenture.

This opinion is given to you in connection with a scanned copy of the Third Supplemental Indenture, executed by the Company.

For the purpose of rendering this opinion, but without opining upon these documents, we have also examined the parts directly related to the Third Supplemental Indenture of the documents referred to in Schedule 1 to this Opinion Letter (the “Corporate Documents”).

2. the Company had all necessary corporate power to execute the Indenture;

3. the persons named as authorised persons with respect to Company had the right, power and authority to execute the Indenture on behalf of the Company and to give any notices or certificates under the Indenture on the Company’s behalf, in accordance with the power of attorney granted by the Board of Managers in the Board Minutes; and

4. all authorisations required or advisable in Belgium in connection with the execution and performance by the Company of the Indenture have been obtained or effected (as appropriate) and are in full force and effect;

4. Qualifications and reservations

The opinions expressed in this Opinion Letter are subject to the following qualifications and reservations:

1. We express no opinion as to matters of fact, nor as to questions of law which can be decided only on the basis of matters of fact nor as to the effect of facts, whether known to us or not, that may have an effect on the opinion given herein.

2. In principle, a power of attorney or agency can be revoked by the principal at any time without prior notice or justification. A power of attorney or agency can however be made irrevocable, provided that it is limited in time. A termination of an irrevocable power of attorney or agency can give rise to damages. Any appointment of an attorney or agent may be limited in circumstances of conflict of interest between the principal and the attorney-in-fact or agent and terminates in principle without retroactive effect upon bankruptcy or liquidation of the principal.

3. The opinions expressed in this Opinion Letter may be affected or limited by the provisions of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganisation, suspension of payments and other or similar laws of any jurisdiction and of general application now or hereafter in effect, relating to or affecting the enforcement or protection of creditors’ rights generally, including but not limited to the Belgian Bankruptcy Law and the law of 31 January 2009 on the continuity of enterprises (“wet van 31 januari 2009 betreffende de continuiteit van ondernemingen”/ “loi du 31 janvier 2009 relative à la continuité des entreprises”).

4. Under Belgian law, each company is subject to the so-called corporate speciality principle (“principe de spécialité”/ “specialiteitsbeginsel”), which requires it to pursue the generation of profit and prevents it from entering into any transactions which are not directly or indirectly beneficial to it.
