On the basis of the examinations and assumptions referred to above and subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in paragraph 4 below, we are of the opinion that:

Page 4 of 5

Valid issuance of shares

(b) The issuance and allotment of the Additional Shares have been duly authorised and, when issued and allotted in accordance with the Registration Statements and the duly passed Board Resolutions and once: (i) consideration is duly and fully paid for in accordance with the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, and (ii) such issuances of Additional Shares have been duly registered in the Company's register of members as fully paid shares, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Once the register of members of the Company has been updated to reflect such issuance of Additional Shares, the shareholder(s) recorded in the register of members will be deemed to have legal title to the Additional Shares set against their respective name(s).

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 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 any of the Registration Statements, 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 Statements 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 documents reviewed by us will result in the breach of or infringe any other agreement, deed or document (other than the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association) entered into by or binding on the Company.

4.2 Under the Companies Act (Revised) (Companies Act) of the Cayman Islands, 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.

4.3 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.
