2.5The Resolutions remain in full force and effect and have not been revoked.

 

2.6There is nothing under any law (other than the law of the British Virgin Islands) which would or might affect the opinions hereinafter appearing. Specifically, we have made no independent investigation of the laws of the State of New York.
