Basis of Opinion

For the purpose of giving this Opinion, we have examined the documents and have conducted the searches listed in Schedule 1 (Documents and Searches) to this Opinion, together with such other materials as we have considered necessary or relevant as a basis for the opinions contained herein.

This Opinion is strictly limited to the matters expressly stated under Section 3 (Opinions), below, and is not to be read as extending, by implication or otherwise, to any other matter. In particular, this Opinion does not deal with any tax matter or the tax consequences of any matter referred to in this Opinion, in the documents or other materials examined by us for the purpose of giving this Opinion, or otherwise.

We express no opinion and make no representation or warranty as to any matter of fact. We have not investigated or verified any of the facts or assumptions, or the reasonableness of any assumptions, statements or opinions contained or represented by any person in the documents or other materials examined by us for the purposes of giving this Opinion, nor have we attempted to determine if any relevant facts have been omitted from such documents or materials.

This Opinion is given with respect to the laws of Ireland in effect on the date hereof and is based on legislation published and cases fully reported before that date and our knowledge of the facts relevant to the opinions contained herein. For the avoidance of doubt, Ireland does not include Northern Ireland (which is a separate jurisdiction), and references to the laws of Ireland do not include the laws in force in Northern Ireland.

We have made no investigations of, and we express no opinion on, the laws of any jurisdiction other than Ireland, or the effect thereof. In particular, we have made no investigations of any reference to non-Irish laws in any document or other materials examined by us or the meaning or effect thereof, and any phrases used in any non-Irish law governed document examined by us have been construed by us as having the meaning and effect they would have if such document was governed by Irish law. We have assumed, without enquiry, that there is nothing in the laws of any jurisdiction other than Ireland which would, or might, affect the opinions contained herein, and that, insofar as the laws of any jurisdiction other than Ireland are relevant, such laws have been, or will be, complied with.

This Opinion is expressed as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to update the opinions contained herein.

Schedule 3

Qualifications

The opinions contained herein are given subject to the qualifications set out in this Schedule.

 

1

Searches

There are some potential limitations to the effectiveness of the Searches. These include:

 

  (a)

A search in the Companies Registration Office will not reveal whether a petition has been presented to the Irish courts for the appointment of a liquidator or an examiner.

 

  (b)

A search of the Register of Winding-up Petitions should reveal the existence of a petition for the appointment of a liquidator or an examiner but there may be a time lag between presentation and entry of particulars of the petition on the Register of Winding-up Petitions and accordingly a search of the Register of Winding-up Petitions may fail to reveal that any such petition has been presented. Furthermore, in the case of certain smaller companies a petition for the appointment of an examiner may be presented to the Circuit Court and a search of the Register of Winding-up Petitions will not reveal the existence of such a petition.

 

  (c)

A search in the Companies Registration Office should reveal the appointment of a liquidator, examiner, process adviser or receiver (whether by the Irish courts or, in the case of a liquidator, process adviser or a receiver, out of court). However, similarly there may be a time lag between the appointment and the filing of particulars of the appointment and accordingly a search in the Companies Registration Office may fail to reveal any such appointment.

 

2

Legal, Valid and Binding

The expressions “legal”, “valid” and “binding” and any combination or variations thereof when used in Section 3 (Opinions), mean that the obligations expressed to be assumed under an agreement are of a type which the courts of Ireland will treat as valid, binding and enforceable. It does not mean that these obligations will necessarily be enforced in all circumstances in accordance with their terms. In particular, enforcement of obligations under an agreement may be:

 

  (a)

limited by general principles of equity, in particular, equitable remedies (such as an order for specific performance or an injunction) which are discretionary and are not available where damages are considered to be an adequate remedy;

 

  (b)

subject to any limitations arising from examinership, administration, bankruptcy, insolvency, moratoria, receivership, liquidation, reorganisation, court scheme of arrangement, arrangement and similar laws affecting the rights of creditors;

 

  (c)

limited by the provisions of the law of Ireland applicable to contracts held to have been frustrated by events happening after their execution;

 

  (d)

invalidated if and to the extent that performance or observance arising in a jurisdiction outside Ireland would be unlawful, unenforceable, or contrary to public policy or to the exchange control regulations under the law of such jurisdiction;

 

11


LOGO

 

  (e)

invalidated by reason of fraud; and / or

 

  (f)

barred under the Statutes of Limitations or may be or become subject to the defence of set-off or counterclaim.

 

3

Court Protection

 

3.1

Examiner

The Companies Act prohibits certain steps being taken, except with the leave of the High Court, against a company after the presentation of a petition for the appointment of an examiner. This prohibition continues for so long as the examiner remains appointed. An examiner may remain appointed for a maximum period of one hundred days during which time the examiner must complete a report to formulate proposals for a compromise or scheme of arrangement in relation to the company concerned. Following the submission of this report to the High Court, the High Court may extend the period of appointment by such further period as the High Court considers necessary to enable it to take a decision as to whether it confirms the proposals set forth by the examiner. Prohibited steps include steps taken to withhold performance of, terminate or accelerate any executory contract solely by reason of the making of a petition to appoint, or the appointment of, an examiner or because the company is unable to pay its debts, steps taken to enforce any security over the company’s property, the commencement or continuation of proceedings or execution or other legal process or the levying of distress against the company or its property and the appointment of a receiver.

 

3.2

Examiner—Circuit Court

Under the provisions of the Companies Act, an examiner can also be appointed on a petition to the Circuit Court, if certain criteria are met. It is not possible for anyone other than a party to the relevant proceedings or the solicitors on record for such parties to inspect the Circuit Court files to ascertain whether a petition for the appointment of an examiner has been made in the Circuit Court, and we have made no searches or enquiries in this regard in respect of the Company.

 

4

Default Interest and Indemnities

 

4.1

Penalties

A contractual provision conferring or imposing a remedy or an obligation consequent upon default may not be enforceable if it were construed by an Irish court as being a penalty, particularly if it involved enforcing an additional pecuniary remedy (such as a default or overdue interest) referable to such default and which does not constitute a genuine and reasonable pre-estimate of the damage likely to be suffered as a result of the default in payment of the amount in question or the termination in question; further, recovery may be limited by laws requiring mitigation of loss suffered.

 

4.2

Costs’ Indemnity

An Irish court may not give effect to an indemnity given by any party in an agreement or other document to the extent it is in respect of legal costs incurred by an unsuccessful litigant or to the extent that it is in respect of litigation costs which are not awarded by the court.

 

12


LOGO

 

4.3

Currency Indemnity

In the event of any proceedings being brought in an Irish court in respect of a monetary obligation expressed to be payable in a currency other than euro an Irish court would have the power to give a judgment to pay a currency other than euro, it may decline to do so in its discretion and an Irish court might not enforce the benefit of currency conversion or indemnity clauses and, with respect to a bankruptcy, liquidation, insolvency, reorganisation or similar proceeding, the law of Ireland may require that all claims or debts are converted into euro at an exchange rate determined by the court as at a date related thereto, such as the date of commencement of a winding up.

 

5

General

 

5.1

Determination may not be Conclusive

A determination or calculation of any party to an agreement stated in that agreement to be conclusive may be held by the courts of Ireland not to be final, conclusive or binding.

 

5.2

Exclusion from Liability

The effect of terms, if any, in an agreement excusing a party from a liability or duty otherwise owed are limited by law.

 

5.3

Exercise of Discretion

Where a party is vested with a discretion or may determine a matter in his or its opinion, the laws of Ireland may require that such discretion is exercised reasonably or that such opinion is based upon reasonable grounds.

 

5.4

Amendment of Guaranteed Obligations

The courts of Ireland may interpret restrictively any provision purporting to allow the beneficiary of a guarantee or other suretyship to make a material amendment to the obligations to which the guarantee or suretyship relates without further reference to the guarantor or surety.

 

5.5

Severability

The enforceability of any provision as to severability may be determined by the courts of Ireland at its discretion.

 

5.6

Powers of Attorney

No opinion is expressed on the irrevocability of any power of attorney.

 

5.7

Future Agreement and Uncertain Terms

An Irish court may not give effect to any provision of an agreement which: (a) provides for a matter to be determined by future agreement or negotiation, or (b) it considers to be devoid of any meaning, vague or uncertain.
