Assumptions of general application

1 All original documents examined by us are authentic and complete.

2 All copy documents examined by us (whether in facsimile, electronic or other form) conform to the originals and those originals are authentic and complete.

3 All signatures, seals, dates, stamps and markings (whether on original or copy documents) are genuine.

4 Each of the Good Standing Certificate and the Director’s Certificate is accurate and complete as at the date of this opinion.

Status, authorisation and execution

5 Each of the parties to the Governing Documents other than the Company is duly incorporated, formed or organised (as applicable), validly existing and in good standing under all relevant laws.

6 Each Governing Document and the Non-Equity Securities have been, or will be, duly authorised, executed and unconditionally delivered by or on behalf of all parties to it in accordance with all relevant laws.

7 In authorising the execution and delivery of the Governing Documents by the Company, the exercise of its rights and performance of its obligations under the Governing Documents, each of the directors of the Company has acted in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and has exercised the standard of care, diligence and skill that is required of him or her.

8 The applicable Governing Documents will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New York and will be legal, valid, binding and enforceable against all relevant parties in accordance with its terms under the laws of New York and all other relevant laws. If an obligation is to be performed in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands, its performance will not be contrary to an official directive, impossible or illegal under the laws of that jurisdiction.

9 The choice of the laws of the State of New York as the governing law of the Governing Documents has, or will have, been made in good faith and would be regarded as a valid and binding selection which will be upheld by the courts of the State of New York and any other relevant jurisdiction (other than the Cayman Islands) as a matter of the laws of the State of New York and all other relevant laws (other than the laws of the Cayman Islands).

11 The Non-Equity Securities will respectively be issued and authenticated as required in accordance with the provisions of a duly authorised, executed and delivered applicable Governing Document and the Non-Equity Securities will be legal, valid, binding and enforceable against all relevant parties in accordance with their terms under the laws of the State of New York and all other relevant laws (other than, with respect to the Company, the laws of the Cayman Islands).

12 The form and terms of any and all Securities, the issuance and sale thereof by the Company, and the Company's incurrence and performance of its obligations thereunder or in respect thereof (including, without limitation, its obligations under any related agreement, indenture or supplement thereto) in accordance with the terms thereof will not violate the Memorandum and Articles nor any applicable law, regulation, order or decree in the Cayman Islands.

Enforceability

(b) neither the execution or delivery of the Governing Documents nor the exercise by any party to the Governing Documents of its rights or the performance of its obligations under them contravene those laws or public policies.

Schedule 3 

Qualifications

Good Standing

1 Under the Companies Act annual returns in respect of the Company must be filed with the Registrar, together with payment of annual filing fees. A failure to file annual returns and pay annual filing fees may result in the Company being struck off the Register of Companies, following which its assets will vest in the Financial Secretary of the Cayman Islands and will be subject to disposition or retention for the benefit of the public of the Cayman Islands.

2 In good standing means only that as of the date of the Good Standing Certificate the Company is up-to-date with the filing of its annual returns and payment of annual fees with the Registrar. We have made no enquiries into the Company's good standing with respect to any filings or payment of fees, or both, that it may be required to make under the laws of the Cayman Islands other than the Companies Act.

Limited liability

3 We are not aware of any Cayman Islands authority as to when the courts would set aside the limited liability of a shareholder in a Cayman Islands company. Our opinion on the subject is based on the Companies Act and English common law authorities, the latter of which are persuasive but not binding in the courts of the Cayman Islands. Under English authorities, circumstances in which a court would attribute personal liability to a shareholder are very limited, and include: (a) such shareholder expressly assuming direct liability (such as a guarantee); (b) the company acting as the agent of such shareholder; (c) the company being incorporated by or at the behest of such shareholder for the purpose of committing or furthering such shareholder’s fraud, or for a sham transaction otherwise carried out by such shareholder. In the absence of these circumstances, we are of the opinion that a Cayman Islands’ court would have no grounds to set aside the limited liability of a shareholder.

Enforceability

4 We have not reviewed the Governing Documents and our opinions are qualified accordingly.

5 We reserve our opinion as to the extent to which the courts of the Cayman Islands would, in the event of any relevant illegality or invalidity, sever the relevant provisions of the Governing Documents and the Non-Equity Securities and enforce the remainder of the Governing Documents and the Non-Equity Securities or the transaction of which such provisions form a part, notwithstanding any express provisions in the Indenture in this regard.

Non-Assessable

6 In this opinion, the phrase “non-assessable” means, with respect to the Ordinary Shares in the Company, that a shareholder shall not, solely by virtue of its status as a shareholder, be liable for additional assessments or calls on the Ordinary Shares by the Company or its creditors (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstance in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil).
