4 Limitations and Qualifications

4.1 We offer no opinion:

(a) as to any laws other than the laws of the Cayman Islands, and we have not, for the purposes of this opinion, made any investigation of the laws of any other jurisdiction, and we express no opinion as to the meaning, validity, or effect of references in the Registration Statement and the Governing Documents to statutes, rules, regulations, codes or judicial authority of any jurisdiction other than the Cayman Islands;

(b) except to the extent that this opinion expressly provides otherwise, as to the commercial terms of, or the validity, enforceability or effect of the Registration Statement or any of the Governing Documents, the accuracy of representations, the fulfilment of warranties or conditions, the occurrence of events of default or terminating events or the existence of any conflicts or inconsistencies among the Registration Statement, the Governing Documents and any other agreements into which the Company may have entered or any other documents; or

(c) as to whether the acceptance, execution or performance of the Company’s obligations under the Governing Documents will result in the breach of or infringe any other agreement, deed or document (other than the Memorandum and Articles) entered into by or binding on the Company.

4.2 Under the Companies Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands (the Companies Act), annual returns in respect of the Company must be filed with the Registrar in the Cayman Islands, together with payment of annual filing fees.

4.3 In good standing means only that as of the date of this opinion 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.

4.4 In this opinion the phrase “non-assessable” means, with respect to the Shares, that a member of the Company shall not, by virtue of its status as a member of the Company, be liable for additional assessments or calls on the 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 use or other circumstance in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil).
