It may not be supplied, and its contents or existence may not be disclosed, to any person other than as an Exhibit to (and therefore together with) the Registration Statement and may not be relied upon for any purpose other than the Registration.

 

Each person relying on this opinion agrees, in so relying, that only FALK shall have any liability in connection with this opinion.

 

The Issuer may:

 

·file this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, and

·refer to FALK giving this opinion under the heading “Taxation-Material German Tax Considerations” in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement.

 

The previous sentence is no admittance from us (or FALK) that we are (or FALK is) in the category of persons whose consent for the filing and reference in that paragraph is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or any rules or regulations of the SEC promulgated under it.
