The Registration Statement relates to offering by the company of the following securities as described in the Registration Statement (together the Securities):

- Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company, par value US$0.0001 per share (the Class A Ordinary Shares) issuable upon conversion of the 8% Series A Convertible Preferred Shares;

3 Opinions

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:

(a) When the Class A Ordinary Shares are issued by the Company against payment in full of the consideration as set out in the Registration Statement and in accordance with the terms set out in the Registration Statement, such Class A Ordinary Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, provided that as a matter of Cayman Islands law, a share is only issued when the issuance has been entered in the register of members.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, the Warrants to be offered and issued by the Company as contemplated by the Registration Statement will be authorised for issue; and when the Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the applicable Warrants are issued by the Company against payment in full of the consideration as set out in the Registration Statement and in accordance with the terms set out in the Registration Statement, such Class A Ordinary Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, provided that as a matter of Cayman Islands law, a share is only issued when the issuance has been entered in the register of members.

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 any document to statutes, rules, regulations, codes or judicial authority of any jurisdiction other than the Cayman Islands; or

(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, 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 and any other agreements into which the Company may have entered or any other documents.

4.2 Under Cayman Islands law, the register of members is prima facie evidence of title to shares and this register would not record a third party interest in such shares. However, there are certain limited circumstances where an application may be made to a Cayman Islands court for a determination on whether the register of members reflects the correct legal position. Further, the Cayman Islands court has the power to order that the register of members maintained by a company should be rectified where it considers that the register of members does not reflect the correct legal position. As far as we are aware, such applications are rarely made in the Cayman Islands and for the purposes of the opinion given in paragraph 3, there are no circumstances or matters of fact known to us on the date of this opinion letter which would properly form the basis for an application for an order for rectification of the register of members of the Company, but if such an application were made in respect of the Class A Ordinary Shares, then the validity of such shares may be subject to re-examination by a Cayman Islands court.

4.3 In this opinion, the term “non-assessable” means, with respect to the Class A Ordinary Shares, that a shareholder shall not, solely by virtue of its status as a shareholder, be liable for additional assessments or calls on the Class A 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).

5 Governing law of this opinion

5.1 This opinion is:

(a) governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the Cayman Islands;

(b) limited to the matters expressly stated in it; and

Page 5 of 6

(c) confined to, and given on the basis of, the laws and practice in the Cayman Islands at the date of this opinion.

5.2 Unless otherwise indicated, a reference to any specific Cayman Islands legislation is a reference to that legislation as amended to, and as in force at, the date of this opinion.

6 Reliance

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Legal Matters” in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement. In providing our consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations issued by the Commission thereunder.

This opinion is addressed to you and may be relied upon by you, your counsel, the holders of the Securities. This opinion is limited to the matters detailed herein and is not to be read as an opinion with respect to any other matter.
