(a) | Rule 415 offering. |
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: | |||
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: |
(i) | To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act); | ||
(ii) | To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective Registration Statement; and | ||
(iii) | To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement; |
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement; | |||
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and | |||
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. | |||
(b) | Filings incorporating subsequent Exchange Act documents by reference. | ||
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrants annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. | |||
(h) | Filing of Registration Statement on Form S-8. | ||
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 6 above, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the |
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |

4. | The Shares, bought back pursuant to the Share Redemption, when issued and paid for in accordance with the Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. |
A. | As Luxembourg lawyers we are not qualified or able to assess the true meaning and purport of the terms of the Opinion Documents under the applicable law and the obligations of the parties to the Opinion Documents, other than documents subject to Luxembourg law, and we have made no investigation of such meaning and purport. Our review of the Opinion Documents and of any other documents subject or expressed to be subject to any law other than Luxembourg law has therefore been limited to the terms of such documents as they appear to us on their face. | ||
B. | The binding effect of the obligations of the Company under the Opinion Documents may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, moratorium or reprieve from payment (sursis de paiement), controlled management (gestion contrôlée), general settlement or composition with creditors (concordat préventif de faillite), fraudulent conveyance (actio pauliana), reorganisation or similar Luxembourg or foreign laws affecting the enforcement of creditors rights generally. Pursuant to articles 445, 446 (save to the extent that the law of 5 August 2005 on financial collateral |
arrangements (contrats de garantie financière) applies) and 448 of the Luxembourg Code of Commerce and article 1167 of the Luxembourg Civil Code, payments and other transactions entered into or performed during the so called suspect period (période suspecte), which is fixed by the Luxembourg Court pronouncing the bankruptcy and dates back not more than six months as from the date on which the Luxembourg court formally adjudicates a person bankrupt, and for specific payments and transactions during an additional period of ten days prior to the commencement of such period, are subject to the cancellation by the Luxembourg court upon proceedings instituted by the Luxembourg insolvency receiver (curateur). | |||
Regardless of the suspect period, article 448 of the Luxembourg Code of Commerce (save to the extent the Law of 5 August 2005 on financial collateral arrangements applies) and article 1167 of the Luxembourg Civil Code (actio pauliana) give the creditor the right to challenge any fraudulent payments and transactions made prior to the bankruptcy, without limitation in time. | |||
C. | The information contained in the Excerpt does not constitute conclusive evidence of the facts reflected therein. | ||
D. | A certificate of any party as to any matter provided therein might be held by a Luxembourg court not to be conclusive, final and binding if, for example, it could be shown to have an unreasonable or arbitrary basis or in the event of manifest error. | ||
E. | As a general rule, powers of attorney or mandates (mandats) may be terminated at will (ad nutum) at any time notwithstanding that they are expressed to be irrevocable. In order to be valid and binding on the principal, such proxies, mandates and powers of attorneys must have a limited purpose and not be drafted in a general way and in broad terms. | ||
F. | We express no opinion as to the accuracy of any warranties and representations given or made by the parties to the Opinion Documents (expressly or impliedly), as to matters of fact (other than to the extent they are subject matter of specific opinions set out in this opinion letter and are verified by our searches referred to in this opinion letter). | ||

Third parties may however rely upon documents or extracts thereof, such as shareholders resolutions, which have not yet been published. Nevertheless, for the fifteen days following the publication, such documents would not be enforceable against third parties who prove that it was impossible for them to have knowledge thereof. | ||
H. | The term non-assessable as used herein means that a holder of Shares will not by reason of being merely such a holder, be subject to assessments or calls by the Company or its creditors further payment on such Shares. |
