[letterhead of Pinheiro Neto  Advogados]



São Paulo, May 5, 2006


Ladies and Gentlemen:


We have acted as special Brazilian counsel to Brazil April LLC and Brazil May LLC (collectively, “Sellers”), in connection with a certain Share Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) entered into on the date hereof among the Sellers and MIH Brazil Participações Ltda. (the “Buyer”).

Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the SPA.

In arriving at the opinions expressed below, we have examined executed counterparts of the SPA, and we have made such investigations of law as we have deemed appropriate for purposes of this opinion.

In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of signatures on original documents, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity with authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, and the legal capacity of natural persons. As to certificates or statements or both of public officials, we have assumed that they have been properly given and are accurate. We have also assumed that:

(i)    each of the Sellers is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and has the power and authority (corporate or other) to execute and perform the SPA;

(ii)      any governmental or regulatory consents, approvals or authorizations required by any of the Sellers under the laws of its respective organization applicable to it for its execution and performance of the SPA have been obtained;

(iii)    the SPA has been duly authorized and executed by the Sellers; and

(iv)    the signatory the Sellers has been duly authorized.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and subject also to the comments and qualifications set forth below, and having considered such questions of law as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below, we are of the opinion that:

1.    Validity of the SPA. The SPA constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Sellers, enforceable against the Sellers in accordance with its terms.

2.    Enforcement Under Brazilian Law. Except for the need to be accompanied by a sworn translation into Portuguese should it be brought to any courts of Brazil, the SPA is in proper legal form under Brazilian law for the enforcement thereof in Brazil.

 
(i) The opinions expressed in this opinion letter are subject to the effect of applicable bankruptcy, liquidation, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally, and claims for salaries, wages, social security, taxes and other statutory privileges will have preference over any claims, including secured ones;
 
(ii) in the event that any suit is brought against the Sellers in Brazil, certain court costs and deposits will be due;
 
(iii) in the event that any suit is brought against the Sellers in Brazil, service of process upon it must be affected in accordance with Brazilian law;
 
 
 
20

 
 
(iv) any judgment against the Sellers in a foreign court will be enforced in the courts of Brazil if previously confirmed (homologada) by the Superior Court of Justice of Brazil, such confirmation only occurring if such judgment:
 
(a) fulfils all formalities required for its enforceability under the laws of the country wherein it was issued;
 
(b) was issued by a competent court after due service of process on the parties;
 
(c) is not subject to appeal;
 
(d) was authenticated by a Brazilian consulate in the country wherein it was issued and accompanied by a sworn translation into Portuguese; and
 
(e) is not against Brazilian public policy.
 
The opinions expressed in this letter are limited to questions arising under the laws of Brazil as in force on the date hereof, and we do not purport to express an opinion on any question arising under the laws of any other jurisdiction.

This opinion is effective only as of the date hereof. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to advise you of any development or circumstance of any kind, including any change of law or fact that may occur after the date of this letter even though such development, circumstance or change may affect the legal analysis, a legal conclusion or any other matter set forth in or relating to this letter. Accordingly, any person relying on this letter at any time after the date hereof should seek advise of its counsel as to the proper application of this letter at such time.

This opinion letter is provided to you by us in our capacity as special Brazilian counsel to the Sellers and may not be relied upon by any other person for any purpose without, in each instance, our prior written consent.

 
 
Very truly yours,
 
Pinheiro Neto Advogados
