Dear Sir or Madam

I, the undersigned, being a director of the Company, am aware that you are being asked to provide an opinion letter (the “Opinion”) in relation to certain aspects of Cayman Islands law. Capitalised terms used in this certificate have the meaning given to them in the Opinion. I hereby certify that:

 

1	The Memorandum and Articles remain in full force and effect and are unamended.

 

2

The Board Resolutions and the Shareholder Resolutions were duly passed in the manner prescribed in the Memorandum and Articles (including, without limitation, with respect to the disclosure of interests (if any) by directors of the Company) and have not been amended, varied or revoked in any respect.

 

3

The shareholders of the Company (the “Shareholders”) have not restricted or limited the powers of the directors in any way, and there is no contractual or other prohibition (other than as arising under Cayman Islands law) binding on the Company prohibiting it from entering into and performing its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

 

4	The directors of the Company at the date of the Directors’ Resolutions and as at the date of this certificate were and are as follows:

 

5.

The Company has the authorised and issued share capital as set out in the Registration Statements, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus and all of the issued shares in the capital of the Company have been duly and validly authorised and issued and are fully paid and non-assessable (meaning that no further sums are payable to the Company on such shares and the Company has received payment therefor).

 

6.

Prior to, at the time of, and immediately following the execution of the Transaction Documents the Company was, or will be, able to pay its debts as they fell, or fall, due and has entered, or will enter, into the Transaction Documents for proper value and not with an intention to defraud or wilfully defeat an obligation owed to any creditor or with a view to giving a creditor a preference.

To the best of my knowledge and belief, having made due inquiry, the Company is not the subject of legal, arbitral, administrative or other proceedings in any jurisdiction and neither the directors nor Shareholders have taken any steps to have the Company struck off or placed in liquidation. Further, no steps have been taken to wind up the Company or to appoint restructuring officers or interim restructuring officers, and no receiver has been appointed in relation to any of the Company’s property or assets.

 

9	The Company is not subject to the requirements of Part XVIIA of the Companies Act (As Revised).
