OPINION

On the basis of and subject to the foregoing and the observations and qualifications that follow and to matters not disclosed to us, we are of the opinion that the statements under the caption “Island of Guernsey Tax Considerations” in the Registration Statement, insofar as such statements constitute a summary of Guernsey law, fairly summarise in all material respects such legal matters and are our opinion.

QUALIFICATIONS

The observations and qualifications referred to above are as follows:

 

5.1

we express no opinion as to any other law other than the laws of the Island of Guernsey in force at and as interpreted at the date of this opinion; and

we do not give any opinion on the commerciality of any transaction contemplated or entered into by the Company in respect of the issue of the Shares. If in resolving to enter into the transaction the directors of the Company were not acting with a view to the best interests of the Company, they would be acting in breach of their duties as directors under the laws of Guernsey.
